چکیده

The paper describes a cross-lingual document retrieval system in the medical domain that employs a controlled vocabulary (UMLS) in constructing an XMLbased intermediary representation into which queries as well as documents are mapped. The system assists in the retrieval of English and German medical scientific abstracts relevant to a German query document (electronic patient record). The modularity of the system allows for deployment in other domains, given appropriate linguistic and semantic resources.

Ontologies in Cross-Language Information Retrieval

We present an approach to using ontologies as interlingua in cross-language information retrieval in the medical domain. Our approach is based on using the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) as the primary ontology. Documents and queries are annotated with multiple layers of linguistic information (part-of-speech tags, lemmas, phrase chunks). Based on this we identify medical terms and sema...

Semantic annotation for concept-based cross-language medical information retrieval

We present a framework for concept-based cross-language information retrieval in the medical domain, which is under development in the MUCHMORE project. Our approach is based on using the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) as the primary source of semantic data. Documents and queries are annotated with multiple layers of linguistic information. Linguistic processing includes part-of-speech ...
