Abstract :
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has clinical effectives and characteristics in disease diagnosis and treatment, and Chinese Medical Formula and drug therapies. Some new computational techniques and information technologies are needed to manage these large repositories of TCM data and to discover useful patterns and knowledge from them. This study is aimed to present a framework of an ontology based knowledge management system for TCM, it mainly include three layered functional architecture: Interface Layer, Intelligence Layer and Ontology Resource Layer. The Ontology concept description architecture of TCM is also discussed.
