An Ontological Health Cluster Framework.

Health is a multidisciplinary domain. We contend that such a domain can benefit by being framed as a knowledge cluster. The objective of this paper is to map out a health research cluster in terms of an ontology. In this way, key relationships and informational exchanges can be captured and which enable more prudent use of critical knowledge assets within the cluster. We proffer an ontology based on our assessment of the healthcare space internationally and distillation of relevant extant literature.
