Abstract
 Learning for surgical procedures has been changing from experimental learning or textural learning to skill learning using virtual reality (VR) simulation. VR simulation is very useful to learn for surgical procedures but it is very difficult to make VR simulation environment. Therefore a simulation library which named MVL (Medical Virtual Reality Library) is build for developing VR environment very efficiently. On the other hand, textbooks on surgery have amount knowledge for VR simulation developing. In this paper, we suggest a new ontology between medical VR simulations and textbooks on surgery. If this ontology is developed, we can connect two knowledge.
 Concretely, knowledge as surgical procedure on textbooks can make a VR simulation environment through MVL with machine learning automatically.
