Abstract

Large medical ontologies can be of great help in building a specialized clinical information system. First step in their use is to identify the subset of concepts which are relevant to the specialty. In this paper we present a method to automatically identify the breast cancer concepts from the ontology using large text corpus as source of knowledge. In addition to finding them, the concepts are also assigned relevance values.
