Annotation of Colorectal Cancer Data Using the UMLS Metathesaurus
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reusing the data collected during an epidemiological study is a complex task. This is mainly due to the frequent utilization of traditional storage supports, as well as specific formats and/or terminologies which can make it difficult to integrate the gathered data with data from other information resources. Using terms from the UMLS Metathesaurus, we have annotated the data collected during the development of an epidemiological study of colorectal cancer funded by the US National Cancer Institute (NCI), which was carried out in Galicia, Spain. In our opinion, this annotation can facilitate integration of these data with data from other studies, allowing the future development of larger studies in a faster and more economical manner.

Medical terminologies and ontologies are a crucial resource for semantic annotation of biomedical text. In French, there are considerably less resources and tools to use them than in English. Some terminologies from the Unified Medical Language System have been translated but often the identifiers used in the UMLS Metathesaurus, that make its huge integrated value, have been lost during the pro...
متن کاملImproving an automatically extracted corpus for UMLS Metathesaurus word sense disambiguation Mejora de un corpus extráıdo automáticamente para desambiguar términos del UMLS Metathesaurus
Manually annotated data is expensive, so manually covering a large terminological resource like the UMLS Metathesaurus is infeasible. In this paper, we evaluate two approaches used to improve the quality of an automatically extracted corpus to train statistical learners to performWSD. The first one contributes to more specific terms while the second filters out false positives. Using both appro...
