vector surveillance and management ontology

We have develop controlled vocabularies (sets of standardized and defined terms) and ontologies (sets of standardized and defined controlled vocabulary terms and their inter-relationships) for vector surveillance and vector management. Use of these controlled vocabularies and ontologies in decision support systems for vector-borne diseases will: 1) remedy the current use of nebulous vector surveillance and vector management terms without formal definitions and relationships, 2) improve data quality and data integration and 3) facilitate standardized monitoring and evaluation of vector control interventions.
