Application of MSIM Platform in TCM Masters' Experience Mining

Experiences which belong to a kind of tacit and explicit knowledge were gradually summarized by the experts during their long working procedures. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) masters are typical carrier of this kind of knowledge. To analyze and inherit those experts’ experiences are worthwhile to the social construction and improvement. We build a platform named MSIM composed of some visualization methods and analysis methods to present and analyze the data (from database, paper, web and etc.). So that students can intuitively understand the academic thinking of masters better than before.  The platform has been applied in investigating the masters' experiences of TCM and the positive results were also introduced.
