Abstract
Advances in medical care and computer technology in recent decades have expanded the parameters of the traditional domain of medical services. This scenario has created new opportunities for building applications to provide enterprise services in an efficient, diverse and highly dynamic environment. Yet the involvement of multiple factors in healthcare systems, such as diverse professionals and embedded devices, has made IT-based healthcare systems expensive, competitive and complex. The deployment of different programming languages, platforms and data management standards has led to restrictions in flawless exchange, integration and reuse of information across different systems. In this regard, service-oriented architecture (SOA) is an advanced methodology that can be used for developing loosely coupled, dynamic, flexible, distributed and cost-effective applications. SOA relies on services and can handle complexity and heterogeneity with the help of ontologies. In this paper, we show our development of domain ontology for the effective handling of IT-based healthcare system problems especially during an emergency.
