Using the WordNet Ontology for Interpreting Medical Records

چکیده
As hospitals throughout Europe are striving exploit advantages of IT and network technologies, electronic medical records systems are starting to replace paper based archives. This paper suggests and describes an add-on service to electronic medical record systems that will help regular patients in getting insight to their diagnoses and medical record. The add-on service is based annotating polysemous and foreign terms with WordNet synsets. By exploiting the way that relationships between synsets are structured and described in WordNet, it is shown how patients can get interactive opportunities to generalize and understand their personal records.

Query 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 ...
متن کاملAutomatic Alignment and Extraction of Bilingual Domain Ontology for Medical Domain Web Search
This paper proposes an approach to automated ontology alignment and domain ontology extraction from two knowledge bases. First, WordNet and HowNet knowledge bases are aligned to construct a bilingual universal ontology based on the co-occurrence of the words in a parallel corpus. The bilingual universal ontology has the merit that it contains more structural and semantic information coverage fr...
متن کاملDesign and Evaluation of Semantic Similarity Measures for Concepts Stemming from the Same or Different Ontologies
Semantic Similarity relates to computing the similarity between concepts (terms) which are not necessarily lexically similar. We investigate approaches to computing semantic similarity by mapping terms to an ontology and by examining their relationships in that ontology. More specifically, we investigate approaches to computing the semantic similarity between natural language terms (using WordN...

متن کاملInformation Retrieval by Semantic Similarity
Semantic Similarity relates to computing the similarity between conceptually similar but not necessarily lexically similar terms. Typically, semantic similarity is computed by mapping terms to an ontology and by examining their relationships in that ontology. We investigate approaches to computing the semantic similarity between natural language terms (using WordNet as the underlying reference ...
