On the Ontological Modelling of Co-medication and Drug Interactions in Medical Cancer Therapy Regimens for a Clinical Decision Support System

In an ongoing project aiming at a comprehensive AI-based tool to support clinical decisions in medical cancer therapy, the ontology OCTA is being developed. Its purpose is to provide general knowledge about active ingredients, therapy regimens, etc. that can be used by such a clinical decision support system. In this paper, we present a new extension of OCTA modelling co-medication and drug interactions, enabling the answering of queries relevant for medical decision making dealing with these aspects.
