1   Scope

1.1   Main purpose This document aims to specify categorial structure in the field of moxibustion by defining a set of domain constraints for use within terminological resources. This document describes a concept system detailing domain constraints of sanctioned characteristics, each composed of a semantic link and applicable characterizing categories. Specification of categorial structures for representation of acupuncture points and other sites of the body, indications, prohibition and effect are out of the scope of this document. The potential uses for this document include:

— supporting developers to provide new terminological systems concerning moxibustion ;

— supporting developers to provide new detailed content areas of existing terminological systems concerning the moxibustion process to ensure its conformance;

— facilitating the representation of the moxibustion process using a standardized core model in a manner suitable for computer processing;

— providing a conceptual framework for the generation of a compositional concept representation of moxibustion ;
