A web-based 3D ontology navigation system for spinal disease diagnosis

Abstract

This paper presents a web-based three-dimensional (3D) navigation system for a spinal disease ontology using a 3D virtual human spine. The 3D navigation system consists of three main modules: a query module for finding spinal diseases and theircauses and treatments from the spinal disease ontology via a web page, a 3D rendering module for rendering the virtual human spine on a web browser, and a visualization
