Towards a Multilingual Medical Lexicon
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present results of the collaboration of a multinational team of researchers from (computational) linguistics, medicine, and medical informatics with the goal of building a multilingual medical lexicon with high coverage and complete morpho-syntactic information. Monolingual lexical resources were collected and subsequently mapped between languages using a morpho-semantic term normalization engine, which captures intra- as well as interlingual synonymy relationships on the level of subwords.

Defining and relating biomedical terms: Towards a cross-language morphosemantics-based system
This paper addresses the issue of how semantic information can be automatically assigned to compound terms, i.e. both a definition and a set of semantic relations. This is particularly crucial when elaborating multilingual databases and when developing cross-language information retrieval systems. The paper shows how morphosemantics can contribute in the constitution of multilingual lexical net...

It is made by exploiting links from various monolingual wordnets to the English Wordnet. Currently, it contains 118,337 concepts expressed in 1,643,260 senses in 22 language...

متن کاملHow to build a multilingual inheritance-based lexicon
This paper discusses a fairly new approach to multilingual lexical representation which abstracts away from the traditional MT architecture to multilingual lexicons. Rather than linking the monolingual lexicons at the level of semantics only, we aim to construct a multilingual lexicon in which information can be shared at all levels of linguistic description using an inheritance-based formalism...
