Abstract:
Objective:To establish the knowledge graph of “disease-syndrome-symptom-method-formula” in Treatise on Febrile Diseases (Shang Han Lun,《伤寒论》) for reducing the fuzziness and uncertainty of data, and for laying a foundation for later knowledge reasoning and its application.
Methods:Under the guidance of experts in the classical formula of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the method of “top-down as the main, bottom-up as the auxiliary” was adopted to carry out knowledge extraction, knowledge fusion, and knowledge storage from the five aspects of the disease, syndrome, symptom, method, and formula for the original text of Treatise on Febrile Diseases, and so the knowledge graph of Treatise on Febrile Diseases was constructed. On this basis, the knowledge structure query and the knowledge relevance query were realized in a visual manner.
Results:The knowledge graph of “disease-syndrome-symptom-method-formula” in the Treatise on Febrile Diseases was constructed, containing 6 469 entities and 10 911 relational triples, on which the query of entities and their relationships can be carried out and the query result can be visualized.
Conclusion:The knowledge graph of Treatise on Febrile Diseases systematically realizes its digitization of the knowledge system, and improves the completeness and accuracy of the knowledge representation, and the connection between “disease-syndrome-symptom-treatment-formula”, which is conducive to the sharing and reuse of knowledge can be obtained in a clear and efficient way.
