Profile-based retrieval of records in medical databases.
Abstract
Ontologies establish relationships between different terms, yet their potential in querying has not yet been fully realized. In this paper, we study the problem of ontology-supported profile-based retrieval of medical records. We present an algorithm that provides two independent techniques (used in isolation or in unison) to address the shortcomings of existing keyword-based retrieval solutions, and provide an implementation and experiments to illustrate the merits of our approach.
