  • Title: PharmARTS: terminology web services for drug safety data coding and retrieval.
    Author: Alecu I, Bousquet C, Degoulet P, Jaulent MC.
    Journal: Stud Health Technol Inform; 2007; 129(Pt 1):699-704. PubMed ID: 17911807.
    Abstract:
    MedDRA and WHO-ART are the terminologies used to encode drug safety reports. The standardisation achieved with these terminologies facilitates: 1) The sharing of safety databases; 2) Data mining for the continuous reassessment of benefit-risk ratio at national or international level or in the pharmaceutical industry. There is some debate about the capacity of these terminologies for retrieving case reports related to similar medical conditions. We have developed a resource that allows grouping similar medical conditions more effectively than WHO-ART and MedDRA. We describe here a software tool facilitating the use of this terminological resource thanks to an RDF framework with support for RDF Schema inferencing and querying. This tool eases coding and data retrieval in drug safety.
