IMPLEMENTAÇÃO DE UM APLICATIVO BASEADO EM ONTOLOGIAS PARA AUXILIAR ESPECIALISTAS NA SOLICITAÇÃO DE ANÃLISES ZOOSSANITÃRIAS

Abstract

This article presents the development of a complementary module to the Epidemiological Risk Alert System that can assist users - clients and veterinarians - to identify which tests should be requested based on the symptoms reported by technical support in the field. The Computerized Management System of Epidemiological Risk Alerts (SARE) allows sending alerts to the relevant bodies, Agricultural and Stock-Breeding Defense Coordinator (CDA) and Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (MAPA), so that they make sanitary arrangements, in order to add security and reliability to the data transmission. An ontological approach was used to formally specify the domain of this application, i.e., the representation of knowledge in the veterinary field, requiring the survey of the formal and informal terms used in order to model the system to assist the experts (clients and veterinarians) on the request via Web of the appropriate tests to situations verified in a field study.
