Since the beginning of software development reusability is an important aspect. Applying reusable elements the software does not have to be developed from scratch, proven solutions can shorten the software development life cycle and make applications safer. There are several forms of reusability like function libraries, class libraries, design patterns, component technologies and enterprise tem...

This paper reports a research effort in Information Extraction, especially in template pattern matching. Our approach uses reach domain knowledge in the football (soccer) area and logical form representation for necessary inferences of facts and templates filling. Our system FRET (Football Reports Extraction Templates) is compatible to the language-engineering environment GATE and handles its i...

This chapter has two objectives. It discusses a design pattern for phrasal constructions and introduces the templates that can be used to instantiate this pattern in Fluid Construction Grammar, using as illustration nominal phrases such as “the green mouse” or “this mouse of mine”. Phrasal constructions not only build phrases but also combine the meanings contributed by their constituents and p...

Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) are aimed at physicians of various degrees of knowledge and experience. The expected result of the use of guidelines is the standardization and homogenization of clinical practice (i.e., that the same clinical problem be diagnosed, treated, or managed similarly by different physicians). However, CPGs can be semantically very complex. In fact, many CPGs are co...

Clinical pattern recognition is a series of applications dedicated to anatomical areas of the body including the hip/thigh, knee, ankle/foot and lumbar spine. It enumerates numerous clinical presentations of different disease processes with associated physical exam findings. It offers a variety of manual and therapeutic exercises for treating these conditions. This review focuses on the hip and...
