ABSTRACT

Korean medicine has long been used to treat patients in Korea. Many clinical knowledge have been accumulated in ancient literatures for a long time. It is traditionally related to our culture and its utilization is high. However, because most Korean medicine knowledge is provided in a form that only the researchers or doctors of Korean medicine can understand, it is difficult for the general public to use the knowledge. There are several websites that provides the Korean medicine information for the general public, but the information is fragmentary. Therefore, in order to provide the health knowledge based on Korean medicine for the general public, we in this paper constructed the information on medicinal materials, formulas, diseases, food ingredients, yak-seon foods, terminologies from many literatures in Korean medicine. Difficult clinical terminologies were translated to make it easy for the general public to understand and the elements related to each other were connected among the knowledge. In particular, the information on diseases and food ingredients have been described in ancient literatures for the general public to treat and prevent diseases themselves. Many people are interested in the information even in modern times. The knowledge constructed in this paper will be able to utilized to the personalized services in the near future.
