Health Informatics — Categorial structures for the representation of the decocting process in traditional Chinese medicine

This document aims to specify categorial structures in the field of decoction. This document describes a concept system detailing domain constraints of sanctioned characteristics, each composed of a semantic link and applicable characterizing categories. The following topics are out of scope of this document: — models of decoction pieces; — the specification of categorial structures for the representation of post or manufacturing processes of decoction such as packaging; — individual pharmaceutical, medicinal products or herbal substances. This document is applicable to terminological systems/resources.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.

Introduction
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is widely used as a part of complementary and alternative medicine
treatments worldwide. Decoction is the most common method for taking TCM medication. It is also the
most common extraction method used to manufacture various dosage forms of TCM medication, such
as granules or liquids. It is also necessary to represent the categorial structure describing the decocting
process involved in the determination of therapeutic equivalence.
Guidelines prescribing decoction in clinical trials and in research are already available. A large number
of clinical trials have been conducted to determine the efficacy and efficiency of decoction. However,
the heterogeneity of descriptions among trials often causes difficulties in synthesizing the data found
in meta-analyses. This is a result of the following three reasons: firstly, an appropriate information
structure of decocting process has not yet been formulated; secondly, the peculiar concepts within
traditional medicine in the western pacific-rim region that originated in China are not considered
sufficient; thirdly, semantic associations between concepts of decoction need to be explicit.
This document defines the minimal categorial structures used by terminological systems in the field of
decoction in order to address the aforementioned issues.
The potential benefits of this document include
— supporting developers to provide new terminological systems concerning the decocting process,
— supporting developers to provide new detailed content areas for existing terminological systems on
the decocting process,
— facilitating the representation of the decocting process using a standardized core model in a manner
suitable for computer processing,
— providing a conceptual framework for the generation of a compositional concept representation of
the decocting process,
— facilitating the mapping and improved semantic correspondence between different terminologies
by proposing a core specification for the decocting process,
— providing a core model to describe the structure of the decocting process and to facilitate improved
semantic correspondence with information models,
— providing a tool for text mining on the decocting process, for database construction and for ancient
document processing over a wide area of TCM information collection and processing, and
— providing a new method for researchers to conduct relevant research and implement relevant ideas
for the development of TCM disciplines.
