We present a medical question answering approach, called MEANS. This approach relies on natural language processing techniques to extract medical entities and relations from the user questions and medical corpora. It also uses semantic Web languages to represent and query the information searched by the users. This feature allows to share the information ex- tracted from textual corpora using standard languages and to consider incremental knowledge acquisition in mid-and-long terms. MEANS constructs an initial SPARQL query and several relaxed queries as semantic interpretations of a user question. The evaluation of MEANS on a real dataset shows promising results for both precision and MRR and showed the significant benefits of the query relaxation technique.
