Abstract

This paper advocates the use of natural language for querying and updating medical databases. A practical solution is presented, it is centered around “MFRL”-a knowledge representation formalism adequate for the description of medical facts. Underlying MFRL is a certain conceptual view of medical knowledge, which the authors believe to be relevant to a number of applications in Medical AI. A small prototype system embodying all the principles is presented.
