Abstract

Objectives: To select, present, and summarize the best papers in 2022 for the Knowledge Representation and Management (KRM) section of the International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA) Yearbook. Methods: We conducted PubMed queries and followed the IMIA Yearbook guidelines for performing biomedical informatics literature review to select the best papers in KRM published in 2022. Results: We retrieved 1,847 publications from PubMed. We nominated 15 candidate best papers, and two of them were finally selected as the best papers in the KRM section. The topics covered by the candidate papers include ontology and knowledge graph creation, ontology applications, ontology quality assurance, ontology mapping standard, and conceptual model. Conclusions: In the KRM best paper selection for 2022, the candidate best papers encompassed a broad range of topics, with ontology and knowledge graph creation remaining a considerable research focus.
