This paper describes the development of an ontology which could act as a recommendation system for hypertensive individuals. The author has conceptualized and developed an ontology which describes recipes, nutrients in foods and the interactions between nutrients and prescribed drugs, disease and general health. The paper begins with a review of the literature on several ontology designs. The previous ontology models guide the development of classes, properties and restrictions built into the hypertensive diet ontology. The model is constructed following the Ontology 101 methodology. The ontology was validated using proto-personas to create competency questions which were used to test the ontology. The findings show that the ontology may be used to provide information with the goal of assisting individuals in making sense of complex effects of diet on health and outcomes. It is concluded that the ontology can be used to provide support to patients as they seek to manage chronic illnesses such as hypertension. The study has relevance for creators of knowledge organization systems and ontologies in the healthcare field.

设计用于管理高血压个体饮食的本体

本文描述了可以作为高血压个体推荐系统的本体的发展。作者已经概念化并开发了一个本体，该本体描述了食谱，食品中的营养素以及营养素与处方药，疾病和整体健康之间的相互作用。本文从对几种本体设计的文献综述开始。先前的本体模型指导建立在高血压饮食本体中的类别，特性和限制。该模型是按照本体论101方法构建的。使用原型角色验证了本体，以创建用于测试本体的能力问题。研究结果表明，本体论可用于提供信息，以帮助个人理解饮食对健康和结局的复杂影响。结论是，本体论可以为寻求治疗慢性疾病（例如高血压）的患者提供支持。该研究与医疗保健领域的知识组织系统和本体的创建者相关。
