Building Folk UMLS: An Approach to Finding Meaning of Folk Terms in Medical Domain
نویسندگان
چکیده
As a medical domain knowledge base, the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) focuses on formal and professional medical terms; online health forums contain user-generated “folk terms”, which can be used to complement the UMLS vocabulary. In this paper, we propose an approach to detecting folk terms from online discussions and matching their meanings to UMLS concepts. This approach makes connections between expert-built ontology and user-generated taxonomy (folksonomy) based on term distance matching using Google distance measurement. By finding meanings of user-generated folk terms, we will build what we call “folk UMLS” ontology as enrichment to the formal UMLS ontology.

متن کامل'Obsessions' in children with autism or Asperger syndrome. Content analysis in terms of core domains of cognition.
BACKGROUND We report a survey of the content of obsessions in children with autism spectrum conditions. We use the term 'obsessions' narrowly, to indicate strong, repetitive interests. We predicted that obsessions would not cluster randomly, but rather would occur significantly more often in the domain of 'folk physics' (an interest in how things work), and significantly less often in the domai...
