Ontology Driven Immuno-Paediatric Monitoring System

Oluyinka I. Omotosho

Abstract: Immunization has become a vital part of public health. Children diseases are now being prevented and eradicated through Vaccines. Despite this remarkable success, multiple resurgences have occurred. The abundance of vaccines in paediatric health is overwhelming; hence most parents/wards still lack knowledge about childhood vaccinations. A major source of information in this advent of technology is the web, which is currently syntactic, posed with several human readable web pages as exists in Immunization domain information searches, with a lot time spent jogging on diffusing web contents for most relevant information. This has restricted the web technological potential in this aspect and wards mostly resolves to non-challant attitude to paediatric immunization or incomplete vaccination series, thereby reinforcing resurgences in paediatric health. This work optimizes the benefits of the ongoing web evolution of adding semantics to Web resources and the available tools, implemented with the use of ontology, enabling a semantic search.
