Toward Medical Ontology using Natural Language Processing
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we introduce our project aiming to build a medical ontology, and also present a method to estimate term relations and term classification, which are the basic structure for the ontology. First, relations between medical terms are extracted from a medical electronic dictionary. Next, the terms are classified based on the co-occurrence verbs. Preliminary experimental results show the basic feasibility of our approach.

Building and using a medical ontology for knowledge management and cooperative work in a health care network
In the context of a health care network, we describe our method for reconstitution of a medical ontology via the translation of a medical database (DB) towards RDF(S) language. Then we show how we extended this ontology among others through natural language processing of a textual corpus. Then, we present the construction of a tool called "Virtual Staff", enabling a cooperative diagnosis by som...
متن کاملPresenting a method for extracting structured domain-dependent information from Farsi Web pages
Extracting structured information about entities from web texts is an important task in web mining, natural language processing, and information extraction. Information extraction is useful in many applications including search engines, question-answering systems, recommender systems, machine translation, etc. An information extraction system aims to identify the entities from the text and extr...

The central hypothesis underlying this communication is that the methodology and conceptual rigor of a philosophically inspired formal ontology can bring significant benefits in the development and maintenance of application ontologies [A.
