Domain Model for Medical Information Extraction—The LightMedOnt Ontology

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 5070))

Abstract

The paper describes the creation of a domain model for an Information Extraction (IE) application in the medical domain. First, we present texts: mammography reports and diabetology patients’ discharge documents, for which IE systems were created. The methodology and results of terminology extraction for both domains are described. Next, the main features and the upper part of LightMedOnt—medical ontology in OWL formalism are presented. In the final part of the paper we discuss the relationships between OWL ontologies and the domain model of the IE system used for our experiments.
