Design of Knowledge Bases for Plant Gene Regulatory Networks.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)
Developing a knowledge base that contains all the information necessary for the researcher studying gene regulation in a particular organism can be accomplished in four stages. This begins with defining the data scope. We describe here the necessary ...

Learning multiple distributed prototypes of semantic categories for named entity recognition.

International journal of data mining and bioinformatics
The scarcity of large labelled datasets comprising clinical text that can be exploited within the paradigm of supervised machine learning creates barriers for the secondary use of data from electronic health records. It is therefore important to deve...

Facilitating Full-text Access to Biomedical Literature Using Open Access Resources.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Open access (OA) resources and local libraries often have their own literature databases, especially in the field of biomedicine. We have developed a method of linking a local library to a biomedical OA resource facilitating researchers' full-text ar...

Oncotherapy: A System for Requesting Chemotherapy Protocols.

Studies in health technology and informatics
A clinical decision support system is able to provide oncologists with suitable treatment options at the moment of decision making regarding which chemotherapy protocol is the best to apply to a particular oncological case. The National Cancer Instit...

Real-time Data Fusion Platforms: The Need of Multi-dimensional Data-driven Research in Biomedical Informatics.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Systems designed to expedite data preprocessing tasks such as data discovery, interpretation, and integration that are required before data analysis drastically impact the pace of biomedical informatics research. Current commercial interactive and re...

DServO: A Peer-to-Peer-based Approach to Biomedical Ontology Repositories.

Studies in health technology and informatics
We present in this poster an extension of the ServO ontology server system, which adopts a decentralized Peer-To-Peer approach for managing multiple heterogeneous knowledge organization systems. It relies on the use of the JXTA protocol coupled with ...

Evaluating a Hierarchical Clinical Event Linkage Model for Clinic-Specific Databases.

Studies in health technology and informatics
A relational database model is presented that stores the hierarchical linkages between clinical events with qualifier codes, such that the explicit contextual meaning of an event's attributes is preserved upon retrieval. A retrospective analysis of 3...

Constructing a Graph Database for Semantic Literature-Based Discovery.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Literature-based discovery (LBD) generates discoveries, or hypotheses, by combining what is already known in the literature. Potential discoveries have the form of relations between biomedical concepts; for example, a drug may be determined to treat ...

Consumer Health Vocabulary: A Proposal for a Brazilian Portuguese Language.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Studies show a gap between the expressions commonly used by health consumers and health professionals. To bridge this gap, consumer health vocabularies are presented as a solution. The aim of this paper is to describe an on-going project to create a ...
