These formal models are a pre-requisite for bridging the knowledge gap that exists between generation of research knowledge and its application in clinical practice. The TRANSFoRm project has developed formal ontological models to represent diagnostic clinical knowledege providing a basis for future development of diagnostic decision support tools. The conceptual validity of the developed models has been tested through representation of diagnostic clinical evidence obtained from literature sources and International Classification of Primary Care Second Edition (ICPC2) coded clinical evidence captured as part of the Transition project. The models provide a basis for future development of decision support tools as part of the on-going TRANSFoRm project. These tools can assist clinicians to formulate and quantify potential diagnoses based on diagnostic cues extracted from patient electronic health records %G eng %U http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-930/p4.pdf
