Development and evaluation of the COntextualised and Personalised Physical activity and Exercise Recommendations (COPPER) Ontology
This is the first ontology focusing on physical activity that (1) follows OBO design principles, including being openly available, (2) includes profile and context information and (3) maps knowledge regarding barriers and coping strategies. It can be used as the base of decision-support systems for action and coping planning for physical activity in primary prevention in Western-European adults, and is easily adaptable to other target groups. Challenges and opportunities of ontologies in health promotion are discussed.
