Abstract:
Objective:To construct the knowledge base of Tibetan medicine prescriptions and explore to standardize the names of Tibetan medicine prescriptions. Method:By using the concept of "man-machine combination",through the construction of Tibetan medicine terminology glossary (data sources: national drug standards,local drug standards,text classics on Tibetan medicines,etc.),the terminology glossary of Tibetan medicine prescriptions was mined. Upon its combination with expert review,the text association between Tibetan medicine prescriptions and various drug standards and dictionaries was constructed,and the standardization methods and techniques of prescription drug names were explored. Result:In this paper,the Tibetan medicine prescriptions approved for marketing in China were taken as the research object,and various inconveniences caused by the inconsistency between the names of prescriptions and the names of medicinal herbs were revealed. This paper also discussed the design ideas on name standardization of Tibetan medicines from three levels: text association,optimization of evaluation methods,and formation of expert decision-making system. We put forward a five-in-one (screening, evaluation, reviewing, fixing, and renewing) research model of Tibetan medicine name standardization. The construction,functions and advantages of the database and thesaurus of Tibetan medicine prescriptions were described in detail, and in combination with the text notes, association between the standard medicinal materials and the prepared prescriptions was then established. Conclusion:The text association method in this paper can accurately reflect the nonstandard names of Tibetan medicine prescriptions. Combined with expert review,it can be, to a certain extent, extended to the standardization of herb names in prescriptions with large scale of or more complex network structures.
