Ontology-based Trial Management System (ObTiMA)

Abstract

The ACGT project which aims to foster the sharing of research result from both, clinical and molecular research for the benefit of cancer patients uses ontology-driven semantic services. One novelty ACGT provides is a tool named ObTiMA which allows to build questionnaires directly from the ACGT Master Ontology. This will facilitate the process of creating Case Report Forms. Furthermore, the clinical data collected is already annotated in the terms of the ontology.
