Abstract

Mémoire is a framework for the sharing and distribution of case bases and case based reasoning in biology and medicine. Based on the fact that semantics account for the success of biomedical case based reasoning systems, this paper defends the suitability of a semantic approach similar to the semantic Web for sharing and distributing case bases and case based reasoning in biology and medicine. Mémoire will permit to bridge the gap between the multiple case based reasoning systems dedicated to a single domain, and make available to agents and Web services on the Web the case based competency of the CBR systems adopting its interchange language. This paper presents the components of Mémoire for the representation of cases, case structure, and case based ontologies in biology and medicine. The approach could be extended to other application domains of CBR.
