Enhanced Biomedical Taxonomy Mapping Through Use of A Semantic Measure of Proximity
نویسنده
چکیده
By employing a notion of semantic closeness to create a multi-phase mapping between one biomedical taxonomy and another, we are able to determine various levels of proximity for mapping term based structures which may fail to map using traditional mapping techniques. The multi-phase approach allows for defining the appropriateness of applying the maps to various domain problems such as the investigation of high level system organ or class effects versus a problem that requires a higher level degree of specificity in the analysis.
