ISO/TS 16843-3:2017 健康情報学—鍼治療を表現するためのカテゴリー構造—パート3：灸 | ページ 2

1.1 主な目的

このドキュメントは、用語リソース内で使用する一連のドメイン制約を定義することにより、灸の分野におけるカテゴリ構造を指定することを目的としています。

このドキュメントでは、認可された特性のドメイン制約を詳述する概念システムについて説明します。それぞれがセマンティック リンクと適用可能な特性分類で構成されています。

体のツボやその他の部位、適応症、禁止事項、および効果を表現するためのカテゴリ構造の仕様は、このドキュメントの範囲外です。

このドキュメントの潜在的な用途は次のとおりです。

• 開発者が灸に関する新しい用語体系を提供するのをサポートする。
• 開発者が灸プロセスに関する既存の用語体系の新しい詳細なコンテンツ領域を提供して、その適合性を確保するのをサポートする。
• コンピュータ処理に適した方法で標準化されたコアモデルを使用して、灸プロセスの表現を容易にする。
• 灸の構成的概念表現を生成するための概念的枠組みを提供する。
• 灸のコア仕様を提案することにより、異なる用語間のマッピングと改善されたセマンティック対応を促進します。
• 灸の構造を記述するためのコアモデルを提供し、情報モデルとのセマンティック対応の改善を容易にします。
• 鍼灸のテキストマイニング、データベース構築、古文書処理などの広範囲にわたる鍼情報収集・処理ツールの提供。
• 研究者が関連する研究を実施するための新しい方法と、鍼灸分野の開発のためのアイデアを提供します。

Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, 2. www.iso.org/directives

Introduction

Acupuncture therapy is widely practised as a part of complementary and alternative medicine treatments in western countries. Moxibustion is a therapeutic procedure using ignited material to apply heat to certain points or areas of the body surface for treating diseases through regulation of the functions of meridians/channels and visceral organs.

A guideline for reporting acupuncture intervention in clinical trials has already been provided and a large number of clinical trials have been conducted to assess the efficacy and efficiency of acupuncture therapy. However, the descriptions of moxibustion as an acupuncture intervention in clinical reports tend to be insufficient for interpretation of heterogeneity among trials, often causing difficulties in synthesizing data in meta-analysis. This arises from three reasons:

• a) an appropriate information structure of moxibustion is not formulated;
• b) peculiar concepts within traditional medicine in the western pacific-rim region originated in China are not considered sufficient;
• c) semantic associations between concepts of moxibustion need to be explicit.

This document defines the categorial structures in the field of moxibustion in order to solve these existing problems.
