Virtual Medical Analysis Paper

Abstract: The out patients visit a multitude of laboratories in order to check the availability, price, result durations from the nearest laboratories which are related in the web sites , in medical analysis laboratory. This results in the reducibility or limitations of usability of such web sites. To over come this problem we propose this paper , Virtual Medical Analysis Laboratory prototype system which will be based on applying the Semantic Web Services which will enable the out patient test to discover suitable laboratory. We propose this prototype based on web service modeling ontology.

-> Semantic Web Services [SWS]
-> Web Services
Web Services Description Language and their related other descriptive language may not provide sufficient semantics which are processed by machine.[1]

More over it requires interpretations of meanings for the technical terms and to discover the web services manually, consumes more time and errorprone. [2]

The semantic web researchers provide to augment the Web services with a semantic description of functionality in order to facilitate their integration and discovery.[3]

This approach is combination of web sevices with semantic web technology.

The SWS also possess the property of modifying the knowledge and business sevices provided on the web.[4]

SWS provides an appropriate sevice for users requirement in the discovery of web. Inorder to complete specific task especially in business environment this is the first step towards service selection and composition.

Therefore, this paper is proposed for discovering the suitable SWS in addition to its existing approaches. This paper also proposes a prototype system using SWS in order to scheduling outpatient test such as blood test,thyroid test,ECG,MRI scan
The patient should contact each laboratory by phone or email to get the necessary information,such as address,distance from home,price,possible results,etc. This method is very difficult and time consuming,especially when the patient needs to visit many laboratories.

Figure 1. The Motivation Scenario

In the second scenario,to overcome the disadvantages in the first scenario, the Virtual Medical Analysis Laboratory(VMAL) prototype system is proposed to discover the suitable Laboratory by applying SWSs for scheduling outpatient tests(blood tests,urine tests,etc.). Inorder to model the scenario,we propose prototype which is based on Web service Modeling Ontology(WSMO).We use WSMO for modeling of services and goals(i.e.required and offered capabilities ) as well as Ontologies (i.e. structural frameworks for organizing information and are used in ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE) all written in the WSML ontology language.

The scheduling of the required tests could be done through the following steps: • Required tests are informed by the patient which she/he wants to do (blood test, urine test,
