Diagnostic Ontology

We built a computational diagnostic ontology containing 91 elements, including classes and sub-classes, which are required to conduct SR-MA (Systematic Review - Meta Analysis) for diagnostic studies, that will assist in standardized reporting of diagnostic articles. We also report high percentage of agreement among five observers as a result of the inter-observer agreement that we conducted among them to tag 13 articles using the diagnostic ontology. Moreover, we extend our existing repository CERR-N (Center of Excellence in Research Reporting in Neurosurgery) to include diagnostic studies.
