Head and Neck Cancer Ontology (HENECON)

Ontology Info

Field	Value
Acronyme	HENECON
Description	HeNeCOn (Head and Neck Cancer Ontology) is the first ontology specifically focused on the Head and Neck Cancer (HNC) domain. It provides a clinically reliable data model for HNC processes during all phases of the disease: prognosis, treatment, and follow-up. The ontology is established based on an annotated dataset to provide formal reference descriptions, contains 170 clinical variables organized into a taxonomy, and is expanded and mapped to formalize and integrate multiple databases into the HeNeCOn ontology. The outcomes of this iterative process were reviewed and validated by clinicians and statisticians. HeNeCOn, with roughly 500 classes, is a very specific ontology which includes a taxonomy with a hierarchical structure, semantic definitions of 283 medical terms and detailed relations between them, which makes it a reference data model.
