Translating SNOMED CT Terminology into a Minor Language
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the first attempt to semi-automatically translate SNOMED CT (Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine – Clinical Terms) terminology content to Basque, a less resourced language. Thus, it would be possible to build a new clinical healthcare terminology for Basque. We have designed the translation algorithm and the first two phases of the algorithm that feed the SNOMED CT’s Terminology content, have been implemented (it is composed of four phases). The goal of the translation is twofold: the enforcement of the use of Basque in the bio-sanitary area and the access to a rich multilingual resource in our language.
