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 ...

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 ...

Ontology-Driven Semantic Search for Brazilian Portuguese Clinical Notes.

Studies in health technology and informatics
The emerging penetration of Health IT in Latin America (especially in Brazil) has exacerbated the ever-increasing amount of Electronic Health Record (EHR) clinical free text documents.This imposes a workflow efficiency challenge on clinicians who nee...

Development of Markup Language for Medical Record Charting: A Charting Language.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Nowadays a lot of trials for collecting electronic medical records (EMRs) exist. However, structuring data format for EMR is an especially labour-intensive task for practitioners. Here we propose a new mark-up language for medical record charting (ca...

Generating and Executing Complex Natural Language Queries across Linked Data.

Studies in health technology and informatics
With the recent and intensive research in the biomedical area, the knowledge accumulated is disseminated through various knowledge bases. Links between these knowledge bases are needed in order to use them jointly. Linked Data, SPARQL language, and i...

Identification of Patients with Family History of Pancreatic Cancer--Investigation of an NLP System Portability.

Studies in health technology and informatics
In this study we have developed a rule-based natural language processing (NLP) system to identify patients with family history of pancreatic cancer. The algorithm was developed in a Unstructured Information Management Architecture (UIMA) framework an...

Generation of Natural-Language Textual Summaries from Longitudinal Clinical Records.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Physicians are required to interpret, abstract and present in free-text large amounts of clinical data in their daily tasks. This is especially true for chronic-disease domains, but holds also in other clinical domains. We have recently developed a p...

Indexing Publicly Available Health Data with Medical Subject Headings (MeSH): An Evaluation of Term Coverage.

Studies in health technology and informatics
As part of the Open Government Initiative, the United States federal government published datasets to increase collaboration, transparency, consumer participation, and research, and are available online at HealthData.gov. Currently, HealthData.gov do...

An efficient algorithm for updating regular expression indexes in RDF databases.

International journal of data mining and bioinformatics
The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is widely used for sharing biomedical data, such as gene ontology or the online protein database UniProt. SPARQL is a native query language for RDF, featuring regular expressions in queries for which exact val...

Managing changes in distributed biomedical ontologies using hierarchical distributed graph transformation.

International journal of data mining and bioinformatics
The issue of ontology evolution and change management is inadequately addressed by available tools and algorithms, mostly due to the lack of suitable knowledge representation formalisms to deal with temporal abstract notations and the overreliance on...
