Description | 中药(TCDs)在中国和其他许多地区的临床实践中已经被广泛使用了数千年。目前,中药的生物活性成分和作用机制正逐渐被发现。然而,由于缺乏规范的中药描述术语或本体,阻碍了中药知识和数据的互操作性和深度分析。通过与基本形式化本体(Basic Formal Ontology, BFO) (ISO认可的顶层本体)保持一致,我们构建了一个社区驱动的中药本体(TCD Ontology, TCDO),目的是支持标准化的中药表示和集成分析。中药本体提供了中药的逻辑和文本定义,TCD的类别,以及TCD的属性(如性质、味道、毒性和归经)。系统地介绍了400余种流行的中药饮片和中药材。
Traditional Chinese drugs (TCDs) have been widely used in clinical practice in China and many other regions for thousands of years. Nowadays TCD’s bioactive ingredients and mechanisms of action are being identified. However, the lack of standardized terminologies or ontologies for the description of TCDs has hindered the interoperability and deep analysis of TCD knowledge and data. By aligning with the Basic Formal Ontology (BFO), an ISO-approved top-level ontology, we constructed a community-driven TCD Ontology (TCDO) with the aim to support standardized TCD representation and integrated analysis. TCDO provides logical and textual definitions of TCDs, TCD categories, and the properties of TCDs (i.e., nature, flavor, toxicity and channel tropism). More than 400 popular TCD decoction pieces (TCD-DPs) and Chinese medicinal materials (CMMs) are systematically represented. |
