Title
Projection and inheritance of SNOMED CT relations between MeSH terms.
Abstract
This paper proposes a methodology to achieve the automatic inheritance of SNOMED CT relations applied to MeSH preferred terms using UMLS as knowledge source server. We propose an interoperability wildcard to achieve this objective. A quantitative and a qualitative analysis were performed on top four SNOMED CT relations inherited between MeSH preferred terms. A total of 12,030 couples of MeSH preferred terms are in relation via at least one SNOMED CT relationship. For the top-four relations inherited between MeSH preferred terms, overall 79.25% of them are relevant, 16.25% as intermediate and 4.5% as irrelevant, as judged by a medical librarian. This work should lead to an optimization of multi-terminology indexing tools, multi-terminology information retrieval and navigation among a multi-terminology server.
