Multiple Primary Tumour validation ontology

QR code

OWL ontology for validating the international rules for multiple-primary malignant tumours. The first version includes all the necessary files for importing, later versions require the importing of other OWL files (e.g. ICD-O-3 and ICCC-3 ontologies) that may be found in the associated data sets on the JRC data catalogue under the ECIS data collection
