Contrasting lexical similarity and formal definitions in SNOMED CT: Consistency and implications
OBJECTIVE To quantify the presence of and evaluate an approach for detection of inconsistencies in the formal definitions of SNOMED CT (SCT) concepts utilizing a lexical method. MATERIAL AND METHOD Utilizing SCT's Procedure hierarchy, we algorithmically formulated similarity sets: groups of concepts with similar lexical structure of their fully specified name. We formulated five random sample...
متن کاملLearning Formal Definitions for Snomed CT from Text
Snomed CT is a widely used medical ontology which is formally expressed in a fragment of the Description Logic EL++. The underlying logics allow for expressive querying, yet make it costly to maintain and extend the ontology. Existing approaches for ontology generation mostly focus on learning superclass or subclass relations and therefore fail to be used to generate Snomed CT definitions. In t...
متن کاملSNOMED CT and formal ontologies
The analysis of the structure of SNOMED CT revealed several ontological and knowledge-engineering errors. The authors propose a methodology based on the formal top-level ontology DOLCE to correct these errors.
متن کاملLexical Ambiguity in SNOMED CT
Terminology systems that represent the language as used in human communication have to deal with the problem of lexical ambiguity; i.e. the same natural language term is assigned to two or more codes. A scrutiny of the large international terminology standard SNOMED CT focused on concepts that are linked by the same term and exhibit problems especially when using the terminology in a Natural La...
متن کاملRedundant Elements in SNOMED CT Concept Definitions
While redundant elements in SNOMED CT concept definitions are harmless from a logical point of view, they unnecessarily make concept definitions of typically large ontologies such as SNOMED CT hard to construct and to maintain. In this paper, we apply a fully automated method to detect intra-axiom redundancies in SNOMED CT. We systematically analyse the completeness and soundness of the results...
