The authors present a formal representation of ICD10 based on GALEN CRM. The goal of the work is to create a coding support tool for coding clinical diagnoses to ICD10. The formal representation of the first two chapters of ICD10 has been almost completed. The paper presents the main aspects of the modelling, and the experienced problems. The constructed ontology has been converted to OWL, and a test system has been implemented in Prolog to verify the feasibility of the approach. The system successfully identified diseases in medical records from gastrointestinal oncology. The classifier module is still under development.
