“…By terminology, we mean a set of mostly phrases, which is consistent with International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 1087 "Terminology-Vocabulary Standard," described by Hammond and Cimino [16]. To compare organizational terminologies, we culled design terms and terms for related concepts from relevant documents.…”

“…The intelligence needed to understand the message is a complex task and it requires establishment of agreements between the different institutions regarding how to represent, describe and contextualize the information to be exchanged. This is made possible by the use of medical terminologies and ontologies that contain internationally standardized catalogs that unify the data used [35]. We have used and applied Linked Open Data technologies in order to take advantage of the knowledge available in the medical domain.…”

An Integrated Approach to Biomedical Term Identification Systems

In this paper a novel architecture to build biomedical term identification systems is presented. The architecture combines several sources of information and knowledge bases to provide practical and exploration-enabled biomedical term identification systems. We have implemented a system to evidence the convenience of the different modules considered in the architecture. Our system includes medical term identification, retrieval of specialized literature and semantic concept browsing from medical ontologies. By applying several Natural Language Processing (NLP) technologies, we have developed a prototype that offers an easy interface for helping to understand biomedical specialized terminology present in Spanish medical texts. The result is a system that performs term identification of medical concepts over any textual document written in Spanish. It is possible to perform a sub-concept selection using the previously identified terms to accomplish a fine-tune retrieval process over resources like SciELO, Google Scholar and MedLine. Moreover, the system generates a conceptual graph which semantically relates all the terms found in the text. In order to evaluate our proposal on medical term identification, we present the results obtained by our system using the MANTRA corpus and compare its performance with the Freeling-Med tool.

“…While it may seem like an insurmountable problem, the development of data standards has been accomplished in other areas of health care and is attainable for forensic pathology. [ 31 ] A communication standard for transmitting the data would also need to be selected or developed. A communication standard ensures that the receiving system understands the message from the sending system and can place the communicated data into the proper fields.…”

The need for informatics to support forensic pathology and death investigation

As a result of their practice of medicine, forensic pathologists create a wealth of data regarding the causes of and reasons for sudden, unexpected or violent deaths. This data have been effectively used to protect the health and safety of the general public in a variety of ways despite current and historical limitations. These limitations include the lack of data standards between the thousands of death investigation (DI) systems in the United States, rudimentary electronic information systems for DI, and the lack of effective communications and interfaces between these systems. Collaboration between forensic pathology and clinical informatics is required to address these shortcomings and a path forward has been proposed that will enable forensic pathology to maximize its effectiveness by providing timely and actionable information to public health and public safety agencies.
