Abstract
In the context of a care network, we describe our method for reconstitution of a medical ontology via the translation of a medical database (DB) towards RDF(S) language. Then we show how we extended this ontology, among others through natural language processing of a textual corpus. Then, we present the construction of a Virtual Staff, enabling a cooperative diagnosis by some of the care network actors, by relying on this medical ontology.
