Multilingual FMA-Wikipedia Mapping
Thursday, October 30th, 2008One aim of MEDICO – among several others – is to integrate existing distributed and heterogenous medical data sources. This screencast shows the results of our integration of
- the Foundational Model of Anatomy (FMA) ontology in the backend of our system with their
- FMA webbrowser and
- Wikipedia pages explaining the respective FMA concepts.
For 3. we
- extracted all multilingual synonyms from the FMA
- mapped them against local offline indexes using the technology of the DFKI project DynaQ
For the English synonyms in the FMA this procedure took more than one day resulting in mappings for 84,685 out of 98,320 classes. We did the same procedure for the German synonyms resulting in mappings for 333 out of 357 synonyms.
