Abstract
The Queries Expansion on Biomedical Terminologies: Toward a Comparison of Knowledge Representation Artifacts for Information Retrieval
Highlights
Since academic articles are valorized as instruments for the preservation and transmission of scientific knowledge, information retrieval (IR) is a crucial field
Expanding queries can be a method for improving information retrieval by finding scientific articles belonging to the same theme as that represented by the artifact [3]
The present work aims to investigate the recall of scientific articles through IR process using two instruments of knowledge representation in the biomedical field: namely, Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine - Clinical Terms (SNOMED CT) and Medical Subject Headings (MeSH)
Summary
Since academic articles are valorized as instruments for the preservation and transmission of scientific knowledge, information retrieval (IR) is a crucial field. The interest in this topic arose from the observation that artifacts of knowledge representation have large terminological and conceptual scope; namely, they are able to provide highly expressive conceptual connections through terms and relationships [2]. In considering this perspective, such artifacts are becoming more important for IR, for example, because of the possibility of expanding queries.
