Digital games in medical education:Key terms, concepts, and definitions
Authors
Abstract:
Background: Game-based education is fast becoming a key instrument in medical education. Method: In this study, papers related to games were filtered and limited to full-text peer-reviewed published in English. Results: To the best of researchers’ knowledge, the concepts used in the literature are varied and distinct, and the literature is not conclusive on the definition of educational games for medical education. Conclusion: This paper attempts to classify terms, concepts and definitions common to gamification in medical education.

full textQualitative Linguistic Terms and Geographic Concepts: Quantifiers in Definitions
Definitions of categories in existent geospatial ontologies are an invaluable source of information because they provide us with essential knowledge about concepts and their properties. A closer examination reveals that definitions also contain supplementary linguistic items, which are mainly qualitative expressions, such as quantifiers. This inclusion of modifiers in definitions affects the wa...
full textMathematical Concepts and Definitions
I Definition and Mathematical Practice The basic observation structuring this survey is that mathematicians often set finding the “right” / “proper” / “correct” / “natural” definition as a research objective, and success finding “the proper” definition can be counted as a significant advance in knowledge. Remarks like these from a retrospective on twentieth century algebraic geometry are common:
full textIdentifying Relations between Medical Concepts by Parsing UMLS® Definitions
To automatically analyse medical narratives, one needs linguistic and conceptual resources which support capturing of important information from texts and its representation in a structured way. Thus the conceptual structures encoding domain concepts and relations are crucial for the development of reliable and high-performance information extraction system. We present research work enabling au...

full textDefinitions of histocompatibility typing terms.
Histocompatibility testing for stem cell and solid organ transplantation has become increasingly complex as newly discovered HLA alleles are described. HLA typing assignments reported by laboratories are used by physicians and donor registries for matching donors and recipients. To communicate effectively, a common language for histocompatibility terms should be established. In early 2010, repr...
