ICD is a fundamental health-care resource developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) and applied in all United Nations countries for a variety of uses. A landmark change in this ICD-11 revision compared to previous ones is the use of OWL as a representation language and of Semantic Web technologies for the collaborative authoring of the ICD content. A community of international medical experts develops ICD-11 in a collaborative setting using the Web-based iCAT platform. Besides its extensive collaboration support, iCAT also fosters the interconnectedness of ICD-11 with other biomedical ontologies and terminologies by providing interlinking and reusing capabilities as a fundamental feature of the tool, while also storing the provenance metadata. The generic and extensible infrastructure as well as its declarative user interface allowed us to easily deploy iCAT in a production setting for the development of ICD-11 and two other WHO classifications. The declarative user interface allowed us to custom tailor the platform for domain experts use. iCAT is in production use since October 2009; it was used to author over 105,000 changes in the ICD-11 ontology, to create more than 40,000 cross-links to other biomedical ontologies, and to produce over 19,000 notes and discussions. The software is open source and a demo version of the platform is available at http://icatdemo.stanford.edu.. }
