Introduction
• Children’s Immunization Information Search– Keyword-based Search
Google, Yahoo, Microsoft Bing, Taiwan CDC, BabyHome, NTUH, Everyday Health, etc.
Popular keyword combinations
– Semantic-based SearchEnglish and Simplified Chinese onlySemantic-based search in Traditional Chinese is
needed
4
Research Aim
• To develop an integrated immunization information system including English and Traditional Chinese information search.
• To compare the search results between our system and other search tools
5
Methods
• System Functionalities and Architecture– Immunization ontological structure
design– Flowchart of search phrases pre-
processing and execution
• System Evaluation

Data Used for Building Immunization Ontology
• Ontology Data Source– Keywords got from CDC Children
Healthcare Handbook• Vaccine information for public • Related disease information for public• Inoculation documents
– Relations and synonyms from UMLS metathesaurus• Vaccine• Related Disease

• The immunization ontology design• System design and performance
– Execution time– Relevance of results– Completeness of results– Synonym searches
• 31 users were invited to use the system and provide feedback and suggestions for improvement.

The Completeness of Results
(1)Functions Difference
The Study:The ontological structure is shown in Traditional Chinese.The target resource for search is the same as Google’s search engine. HealthMash:The ontological structure is shown in English.The target resource for search includes limited Taiwanese websites or Chinese articles are more likely in Simplified Chinese, not in Traditional Chinese.
Google:To filter the published date or duration of target resource To present the definition of search phrases from dictionariesTo show the result according to the read difficulty levelYahoo & Microsoft Bing:To configure the number of search results per page

Users’ Feedback and Suggestions
• 31 users– 4 mothers, 8 medical staffs and 19 IT
students
• Usefulness of searched Information– Basic information> related terms
(synonyms and relations) > ontological structure > related articles
• 67.7% respondents prefer to the semantic-based search.
16
Limitations and Future Work
• The relationship sets may restrict the information search target.
• Information written in other languages is excluded from the search.
• The pre-processing does not concern with lengthy search phrases.
17
Conclusion and Contribution
• An Immunization ontology is created to help semantic-based information search.
• Our immunization ontology presented in OWL and referred to UMLS metathesaurus can be easily integrated and applied to other systems.
