| Description | A comprehensive ontology for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) developed at Cardiff University. The ontology defines 80 OCD-specific concepts with formal Description Logic definitions, integrates nine existing biomedical ontologies through five documented reuse strategies, and provides systematic lexical enrichment of both concepts and object properties using the OntoLex-Lemon model. Developed using a two-stage human–machine methodology combining expert clinical validation with large language model benchmarking. |
