Knowledge Representation on Pharmacotherapy Using Knowledge Ontology

Pharmacotherapy is fundamental knowledge within the medical domain, specifically concerning the utilization of drugs or drug therapy for treating diseases or health disorders. Representation of knowledge from pharmacotherapy is needed to deepen scientific knowledge in that domain. Ontology is an approach in the domain of computer science that can be used to represent knowledge. Ontology has been widely used to represent knowledge in the medical domain. However, the modeling that is done is only focused on the triplet relationship concept between two class or two entities. Even though the knowledge that comes from Pharmacotherapy material is very complex. Therefore, this research used a new ontology model called knowledge ontology to represent information from pharmacotherapy materials. This study uses a dataset from e-book about pharmacotherapy. In this experiment, a total of 200 sentences were represented in knowledge ontology. The results of the representation are then evaluated by Pharmacotherapy’s experts. Based on the experiments that have been carried out, it is known that the proposed ontology model can be used to represent information in the Pharmacotherapy with a testing accuracy of 95%. The results of this study can serve as a valuable resource for students in the field of pharmaceuticals, enabling them to gain a deeper understanding of pharmacotherapy.
