Abstract:
A controlled medical vocabulary is a fundamental requirement in a range of medical informatics applications. Large vocabularies development and maintenance is labor intensive and costly. Maintainers of medical vocabularies need appropriate tools to do their work correctly. In this paper, we describe our concept model for a controlled medical vocabulary. We present how this model can check vocabulary consistency. We propose a set of tools in a distributed environment, which permits edition, visualization and maintenance of medical terminologies.
