State of the Art on Terminological Resources from Field of HIV/AIDS for Monitoring People Living with HIV (PLHIV)

After the observation of the difficulties encountered in as part of the follow-up monitoring people living with HIV (PLHIV), an IT platform was set up for a concerted management and monitoring of PLHIV in the border area between Senegal, Gambia and Guinea-Bissau. The modules in development on the platform require a domain ontology of the HIV/AIDS to be put in place. This article not only describes the needs that motivate the creation of such an ontology, but also, makes the state of the art of termino-ontological resources (TOR) for HIV/AIDS and the identification of resources that can be reused in the construction of that ontology.
