ISO/TS 16843-3:2017旨在通过定义一组在术语资源中使用的领域约束来指定艾灸领域的分类结构。 ISO/TS 16843-3:2017描述了一个概念系统，详细说明了认可特征的领域约束，每个约束由语义链接和适用的特征类别组成。 描述穴位和身体其他部位、适应症、禁止和效果的分类结构规范不在本文件范围内。 本文件的潜在用途包括: -支持开发者提供有关艾灸的新术语系统； -支持开发者提供有关艾灸过程的现有术语系统的新的详细内容区域，以确保其一致性； -以适合计算机处理的方式，使用标准化的核心模型促进艾灸过程的表示； -为生成艾灸的合成概念表示提供概念框架； -通过提出艾灸核心规范，促进不同术语之间的映射和语义对应； -提供一个核心模型来描述艾灸的结构，并有助于改进与信息模型的语义对应； -为针灸文本挖掘、数据库建设、古代文献处理提供了工具，对针灸信息进行了大范围的收集和处理； -为研究人员开展相关研究提供了新的方法，为针灸学科的发展提供了思路。

ISO/TS 16843-3:2017 aims to specify categorial structure in the field of moxibustion by defining a set of domain constraints for use within terminological resources. ISO/TS 16843-3:2017 describes a concept system detailing domain constraints of sanctioned characteristics, each composed of a semantic link and applicable characterizing categories. Specification of categorial structures for representation of acupuncture points and other sites of the body, indications, prohibition and effect are out of the scope of this document. The potential uses for this document include: - supporting developers to provide new terminological systems concerning moxibustion; - supporting developers to provide new detailed content areas of existing terminological systems concerning the moxibustion process to ensure its conformance; - facilitating the representation of the moxibustion process using a standardized core model in a manner suitable for computer processing; - providing a conceptual framework for the generation of a compositional concept representation of moxibustion; - facilitating the mapping and improved semantic correspondence between different terminologies by proposing a core specification for moxibustion; - providing a core model to describe the structure of moxibustion, and facilitate improved semantic correspondence with information models; - providing a tool for moxibustion text mining, database construction, ancient document processing over a wide area of acupuncture information collection and processing; - providing a new method for researchers to conduct relevant research, and ideas for the development of acupuncture and moxibustion disciplines.
