Overview:
MedDRA loader served as a bridge between MedDRA ontology to OWL loader. It first converts the MedDRA ontologies to OWL/RDF format, and then it employs the LexEVS OWL loader API to load the converted OWL/RDF ontology to LexEVS model.
Design Consideration:
1, MedDRA loader is based on Manchester OWL API, which is the one of most popular OWL/RDF APIs. It support OWL 2.0, and supports OWL/RDF ontology creation and modification.
2, the exported OWL/RDF ontology is saved file system. The path could be either provided by users or by the system default.
3, a set of mappings need to create between MedDRA to OWL/RDF ontology. It should cover the SOC, HLGT, HLT, PT and LLT and their relationships
4, once the converted job done, MedDRA loader automatically call the LexEVS OWL loader API to load the OWL/RDF ontology into the LexEVS model.
5, create the LoadMedDRALaucher.java and scripts(.sh and .bat) for the command line loading.
