In computer science, the notion of a domain ontology - a formal specification of the concepts and of the relationships among concepts that characterize an application are a - has received considerable attention. In human-computer interaction, ontologies play a key role in defining the terms with which users and computer systems communicate. Such ontologies either implicitly or explicitly drive all dialogs between the computer and the user. In the construction of health-telematics applications, professionals need to understand how to design and apply domain ontologies to ensure effective communication with end-users. We currently are revising our training program in Medical Information Sciences at Stanford University to teach professional students in health telematics how to develop effective domain ontologies. Instruction concerning the construction and application of clinical domain ontologies should become an integral component of all health telematics curricula.
