DEVO: an ontology to assist with dermoscopic feature standardization.
BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making 2023 August 19
BACKGROUND: The utilization of dermoscopic analysis is becoming increasingly critical for diagnosing skin diseases by physicians and even artificial intelligence. With the expansion of dermoscopy, its vocabulary has proliferated, but the rapid evolution of the vocabulary of dermoscopy without standardized control is counterproductive. We aimed to develop a domain-specific ontology to formally represent knowledge for certain dermoscopic features.
METHODS: The first phase involved creating a fundamental-level ontology that covers the fundamental aspects and elements in describing visualizations, such as shapes and colors. The second phase involved creating a domain ontology that harnesses the fundamental-level ontology to formalize the definitions of dermoscopic metaphorical terms.
RESULTS: The Dermoscopy Elements of Visuals Ontology (DEVO) contains 1047 classes, 47 object properties, and 16 data properties. It has a better semiotic score compared to similar ontologies of the same domain. Three human annotators also examined the consistency, complexity, and future application of the ontology.
CONCLUSIONS: The proposed ontology was able to harness the definitions of metaphoric terms by decomposing them into their visual elements. Future applications include providing education for trainees and diagnostic support for dermatologists, with the goal of generating responses to queries about dermoscopic features and integrating these features to diagnose skin diseases.
