Exploiting thesauri knowledge in medical guideline formalization.
OBJECTIVES As in software product lifecycle, the effort spent in maintaining medical knowledge in guidelines can be reduced, if modularization, formalization and tracking of domain knowledge are employed across the guideline development phases. METHODS We propose to exploit and combine knowledge templates with medical background knowledge from existing thesauri in order to produce reusable bu...
متن کاملA Contribution of Medical Terminology to Medical Language Processing Resources: Learning Morphological Knowledge from Thesauri
Morphological knowledge, especially derivation and compounding, is extremely useful both for natural language processing and information retrieval. Whereas large morphological knowledge bases are available for some languages, this is not the case for French. In order to fill this gap, we aim at setting up a method that can acquire automatically various kinds of morphological knowledge for a giv...
متن کاملExploiting Thesauri and Hierarchical Categories in Cross-Language Information Retrieval
As Internet resources become accessible to more and more countries, there is a need to develop efficient methods for information retrieval across languages. In the present paper, we focus on query expansion techniques to improve the effectiveness of an information retrieval. A combination to a dictionary-based translation and statistical-based disambiguation is indispensable to overcome transla...
متن کاملExploiting Disambiguated Thesauri for Information Retrieval in Metadata Catalogs
Information in Digital Libraries is explicitly organized, described, and managed. The content of their data resources is summarized into small descriptions, usually called metadata, which can be either introduced manually or automatically generated. In this context, specialized thesauri are frequently used to provide accurate content for subject or keyword metadata elements. However, if a Digit...
متن کاملIncremental guideline formalization with tool support
Guideline formalization is recognized as an important component in improving computerized guidelines, which in turn leads to better informedness, lower inter-practician variability and, ultimately, to higher quality healthcare. By means of a modeling exercise, we investigate the role of guideline formalization tools which use two different knowledge transformation principles in producing re-usa...
