Abstract
Encoding guidelines and treatment protocols in formal and computer-executable form is not a trivial task and requires the collaboration between clinicians and knowledge engineers. In this paper, we describe , a Semantic Media Wiki (SMW)-based tool for the collaborative encoding in a distributed environment of cancer treatment protocols in Asbru. exploits the great flexibility of SMW technology to mix unstructured information and semantic annotations, allowing to automatically generate the final formal model with minimal adaptation cost. uses forms and a graphical representation of the resulting plan hierarchy to help the encoding and the representation of the model. All these features render a natural candidate for small to medium scale modeling tasks, since the use of bigger systems may require a big adaptation and training effort. Moreover, our approach is not constrained to Asbru, but can be adapted to support other modeling languages.
