MISSOURI THESAURUS OF MEDICAL INFORMATICS TERMINOLOGY

密苏里州医学信息术语词库将填补一个空白 在医学信息学领域。虽然有一些 叙词表涵盖了医学信息学的许多方面，没有 目前已覆盖整个学科。MeSH的L树最接近 但由于自1987年以来没有重大修订， 这一学科中的许多术语在这一来源中找不到。 研究人员在图书馆和信息科学学院和 医学院医学信息学组， 密苏里大学哥伦比亚分校，一直致力于创造一个新的 包括医学信息学学科的同义词词典。迄今为止， 我从许多不同的来源收集了术语，选择了首选的 同义词的术语，在适用时选择词汇变体，以及 将最初超过5000个术语的词汇量减少到 2000. 这项补助金的目的是制作一个完整的医学辞典 信息学术语，并将其提供给 社区通过互联网和打印格式。这笔赠款 可以让研究人员完成这个项目。具体目标 这笔赠款将包括：1）完成对 词汇表; 2）创建/完善分类方案， 词汇与伴随的联合结构; 3）创建一个 计算机程序，它将允许词库和分类方案， 易于使用，并通过互联网提供此程序; 4） 利用该词表对1994年《中国科学技术文献汇编》中的条目进行标引， SCAMC会议记录和1995年MEDINFO会议记录; 5） 医学信息学领域专家对 词汇的适当性和完整性以及 电子版。

The Missouri Thesaurus of Medical Informatics Terminology will fill a gap in the discipline of medical informatics. While there are a number of thesauri which cover many of the aspects of medical informatics, none currently covers the entire discipline. The L tree of MeSH comes closest but since there has been no major revision of that since 1987 there are many terms in the discipline which are not found in this source. Researchers at the School of Library and Informational Science and the Medical Informatics Group of the School of Medicine, both of the University of Missouri-Columbia, have been working on creating a new thesaurus to cover the discipline of medical informatics. To date they have gathered terms from a number of diverse sources, chosen the preferred term for synonyms, chosen the lexical variants when applicable, and reduced an initial vocabulary of more than 5000 terms to a few more than 2000. The purpose of this grant is to produce a complete thesaurus of medical informatics terminology and to make it available to the informatics community both through the INTERNET and in a print format. This grant would allow the researchers to complete the project. Specific objectives to be covered by this grant would be: 1) To complete the refinement of the vocabulary; 2) To create/refine a classification scheme to be used with the vocabulary with an accompanying syndetic structure; 3) To create a computer program which will allow the thesaurus and classification scheme to be used easily and to make this program available via the INTERNET; 4) To test the completed thesaurus by using it to index the items in the 1994 SCAMC Proceedings and the 1995 MEDINFO Proceedings; 5) To obtain the comments of experts in the field of medical informatics as to the appropriateness and completeness of the vocabulary and the ease of use of the electronic version.
