An Ontology-Driven Search Module for Accessing Chronic Pathology Literature
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an advanced search module for bibliography retrieval developed within the CHRONIOUS European IP project. The developed search module is specifically targeted to clinicians and healthcare practitioners searching for documents related to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). To this aim, the presented tool exploits two pathology-specific ontologies that allow focused document indexing and retrieval. Besides the search module, an enrichment tool is provided to maintain and to keep up-to date such as ontologies. In addition link with the terms of the MeSH (Medical Subject Heading) thesaurus has been provided to guarantee the coverage with the general certified medical terms and multilingual capabilities.

متن کاملQuery Architecture Expansion in Web Using Fuzzy Multi Domain Ontology
Due to the increasing web, there are many challenges to establish a general framework for data mining and retrieving structured data from the Web. Creating an ontology is a step towards solving this problem. The ontology raises the main entity and the concept of any data in data mining. In this paper, we tried to propose a method for applying the "meaning" of the search system, But the problem ...

The paper introduces the architecture and functionality of the knowledge-based information retrieval technology developed at Vertical Search Works. A large-scale language-independent ontology is used during indexing, query analysis, and document retrieval as part of a web-scale vertical search engine. Three specific areas are examined: the knowledge resource, its visualization and editing toolb...
متن کاملDEDUCE Clinical Text: An Ontology-based Module to Support Self-Service Clinical Notes Exploration and Cohort Development.
Large amounts of information, as well as opportunities for informing research, education, and operations, are contained within clinical text such as radiology reports and pathology reports. However, this content is less accessible and harder to leverage than structured, discrete data. We report on an extension to the Duke Enterprise Data Unified Content Explorer (DEDUCE), a self-service query t...
