Abstract:
In this paper, we are using "structurally congruent concepts" in pairs of terminologies to suggest methods for harmonizing the terminologies. Two concepts are structurally congruent if they are children of the same more general concept and parents of the same more specific concept in two different terminologies. We show that structurally congruent concepts can be interpreted in six useful ways, e.g., as new synonyms. All structurally congruent concepts were found for six terminologies from the UMLS, each paired with SNOMED CT. In total, 1384 concept pairs were discovered. Concepts from a sample of 241 pairs were analyzed by a human expert. It was found that 59.3% indicated alternative classifications of the same general concept. This discovery allows an ontology designer to make existing, implicit knowledge explicit. Another 14.5% were newly discovered synonyms, 23.6% suggested the import of a concept into a terminology and 2.5% indicated errors in a terminology.

02:34Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly,...

02:52Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...
