Abstract

The development of a generic Smart Classification System (SmaCS) for the design, construction, maintenance, and use of complex controlled terminologies is described. SmaCS is used to create a knowledge-base containing more than 2,500 items for the description of abnormalities, treatments, complications, etc. within the domain of congenital heart disease. The purpose of the combination of domain specific knowledge and terminology is to provide a tool useful for both data entry and the subsequent analysis of the data collected.
