An hypermedia system to manage anatomical knowledge about brain
Résumé
This paper reports about first results obtained in a project aiming at developing a computerized system to manage knowledge about brain anatomy. The emphasis is put on the design of a knowledge base including a symbolic model of the cerebral anatomical structures (grey nuclei, cortical structures such as gyri and sulci, ventricles, vessels, etc…) and of browsing facilities allowing to retrieve and display information associated with the objects (texts, drawings, images). Atlas plates digitized from a stereotactic atlas are also used to provide natural and effective communication means between the user and the system.
