Immunization Ontology for Enlightening People using Knowledge Representation

Six million children below the age of five who perish from preventable causes every year. It all happens because of an insufficiency of information or misinformation about the benefits of immunization. In this paper, we concentrate on to construct a complete vaccine information ontology system using Web Ontology Language (OWL). In this paper, we provide the overall information regarding vaccination. This helps the people to get the information about the importance of immunization. This vaccine ontology was constructed through protege 4.3 and it consists of 28 vaccine information statements accumulated from the CDC website. Salient and pertinent information from the document was recorded and knowledge triples were extracted. By using the collection of knowledge triples, the meta-level conceptualization of the vaccine information ontology was developed. This immunizationontology covers classes, data properties, object properties, individuals and restrictions on a relationship between classes and other description. Finally, HermiT reasoner was used to examine discrepancies.
