Abstract

The modernization of African traditional medicine (TM) using IT faces to illiteracy of most of the domain stakeholders. In order to assist traditional medicine practitioner (TMP) in theirs activities, we have propose an icon-based system to visually use plants and recipe in the drug preparation process. Therefore, traditional physicians can easily combine icons for medical prescription. For that, ontoMEDTRAD is an ontology including formal description for knowledge related to iconic representation of plants and recipes. Structurally, ontoMEDTRAD includes two modules: ontoConcept_term and ontoIcone denoting respectively the terms and the icons of concepts in this domain. Thus, avoiding any semantic issues, TMP can be free from language barriers, textual writing and reading in their work of healer. More specifically, this work aims to model plants and recipes in TM and propose compositional iconic language for plants and sketches for recipes.
