近年來，語意網技術（Semantic Web Technologies）的發展，讓搜尋方式上產生重大的改變。它經由電腦或軟體代理人（Software Agent）判讀知識本體以了解資料的語意，提昇資料搜尋的精確度與效率。本文的目的是運用語意網技術協助民眾就醫後，能擁有一套完整的藥物指標之參考資訊。 在查詢用藥方面雖可從網路上搜尋到相關的資訊，但傳統搜尋引擎仍是使用關鍵字比對而無法判斷該辭彙的語意，以致無法過濾一些不相關的資料，因而使用者需耗費時間篩選資料，此過程較為沒效率。 為了解決上述的問題，我們利用語意網技術建立一個以藥物知識本體（Drug Ontology）為基礎之藥物指標語意查詢系統（Drug-Guide Semantic Search System，DGSSS），使民眾能夠透過本系統快速且精確地查詢到相關的用藥資訊，實現自我健康管理。 In recent years, the development of Semantic Web technology makes a major change in the way of searching information. The computer or Software Agent can interpret drug ontology to understand the meaning of data for improving data accuracy and efficiency of the search. The main purpose of this paper is to help populace to build complete reference information for drug-guide. Although we can search the relevant information from the Web, the traditional search engines only provide the keywords-matching for querying drug-use information. They still lack the function of interpreting the meaning of the terms. Therefore, this process of searching is inefficient. To solve the above problem, we use the Semantic Web Technology to construct an ontology-based Drug-Guide Semantic Search System （DGSSS）. The DGSSS can provide the populace quickly and correctly searching the drug-use information to improve the personal health management.
