Research on Construction of Knowledge Graph of Traditional Chinese Medicine Decoction and Example Query Methodology
The use of modern information technology to provide effective research methods and approaches for scientific re-search,dissemination and teaching of traditional Chinese medicine is a current research hotspot,but also a future development di-rection.Knowledge graph,as an effective and novel knowledge management technology,provides a method for mining the hidden correlations in medical knowledge through its unique knowledge representation,gives impetus to the development of the heritage of traditional Chinese medicine,and supplies references for the study and research of traditional Chinese medicine.As an important part of traditional Chinese medicine,the formulae have accumulated a wealth of valuable experience and knowledge,and play an important role as one of the important means of traditional Chinese medicine treatment.The aim of this paper is to realize the ex-traction of entities and relationships for the decoction types of traditional Chinese medicine formulae and to construct a knowledge graph.Through in-depth analysis and text mining of unstructured and semi-structured information such as Chinese medicine literature,Chinese medicine cases,Chinese medicine prescription databases and experiences of famous and old Chinese medicine practitioners,the organized knowledge is deposited into the Neo4j graph database,and images of Chinese medicines are used to be displayed as nodes of the corresponding medicine entities,which helps users to understand the entities and relationships in the knowledge graph and to discover the hidden patterns,trends and correlations.A example query algorithm was designed for query analysis to provide new ideas for learning,browsing and retrieving knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine formulae,new solu-tions for analyzing and mining potential associative relationships in traditional Chinese medicine,and new paradigms for express-ing and visualizing traditional Chinese medicine knowledge.
