Claim One:
1. A method programmed for execution in a computing environment for consulting and providing localized response information from a radiological domain ontology in reference to a subject, the method comprising: defining one or more aspects of radiology functions as concept properties represented by a vocabulary of one or more instances of the radiological domain ontology, the radiological domain ontology declaring and fulfilling a model of radiological domain knowledge; wherein said model of radiological domain knowledge comprises: one or more findings; one or more finding characteristics; and object properties, wherein said object properties represent relationships among said findings and finding characteristics; employing a context that defines a set of said radiological domain knowledge and the relationships among said set of said radiological domain knowledge, to describe said subject; providing an informational item of interest that relates to said subject in a localized representation; and providing a localization ontology, said localization ontology comprising: localization language references; localization labels for said findings, finding characteristics and object properties; and references to said radiological domain ontology; wherein a localized representation of said informational item of interest is identified in said localization language reference and the corresponding localization labels are identified and utilized to consult said radiological domain ontology to validate that said localized informational item of interest is radiological and resides in said radiological domain knowledge, wherein a definitive concept of said localized informational item of interest is identified from within said radiological domain knowledge, and wherein said localized informational item of interest is classified to provide said localized response regarding the subject.
