Dr. Hoa Ngo will be presenting, Can Wikipedia (and NLP) Be Used to Derive an Open Clinical Terminology?
Clinical terminologies play an essential role in enabling semantic interoperability between medical records. However, existing terminologies have several issues that impact data quality, such as content gaps and slow updates. This presentation will highlight recent work exploring the suitability of existing, community-driven resources, such as Wikipedia, as a potential source to bootstrap open clinical terminologies for content coverage.
