VUMeF: Extending the French Involvement in the UMLS metathesaurus
نویسندگان
چکیده
A considerable number of robust vocabularies and thesauri have been developed for the healthcare and biomedical domain. No single vocabulary, however; provides complete coverage of the information needs from a public health perspective. The results of an investigation of vocabulary sources for the development of a comprehensive controlled vocabulary for the public health domain at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is presented.

متن کاملIncreasing UMLS Coverage and Reducing Ambiguity via Automated Creation of Synonymous Terms: First Steps toward Filling UMLS Synonymy Gaps
Background: Although extensive synonymy is one of the greatest strengths of the UMLS Metathesaurus, much research has nonetheless focused on identifying and measuring gaps in UMLS synonymy. This paper proposes a methodology for further extending the UMLS’ already rich synonymy by semi-automatically creating new strings not in the UMLS, and including them as additional synonymous strings within ...
متن کاملAligning Knowledge Sources in the UMLS: Methods, Quantitative Results, and Applications
The UMLS Semantic Network and Metathesaurus are two complementary knowledge sources. While many studies compare relationships across the two structures, their alignment has never been attempted. We applied two methods based on lexical and conceptual similarity to aligning the Semantic Network with the UMLS Metathesaurus. Approximately two thirds of the semantic types could be aligned by lexical...

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...
