Sammendrag
Correct and professional use of the nursing termonology is important to assure
quality information in the nursing practice. The International Classification for
Nursing Practice(ICNP) is a unified language system which includes thousands of
terms which can be used by nurses when writing electronic health records(EHR).
Nurses usually have a specific domain their work relates to and therefore only a
limited amount of terms in the ICNP is used. Creating domain specific catalogues
with subsets of the ICNP terms and also including common nursing statements in
these domains, can help make the teaching and use, more efficient. To make the
process of making catalogues easier, a prototype application should be developed
with the help of the OWL expressed ontology of ICNP. By extending the ICNP
ontology and using the power of Semantic Web for storing catalog data, it will be
ready for future research and use.
