Abstract
We describe UVAL-MED, a Universal visual associative language for medi cine, and propose its use in combination with diagnostic reasoning and decision support systems. When fully developed, our system will autom atically translate SNOMED terms to UVAL-MED terms. Grammar and syntax for UVAL-MED are defined and its features as a language-independent to ol are discussed. The perceived advantages of our graphical language f or rapid integration of knowledge and the assessment of developing sit uations could thus facilitate decision making.
