To create a comprehensive taxonomy for medical concepts it is necessary to identify gaps and reconcile differences that exist between clinical, bibliographic, and other source vocabularies. As part of the Unified Medical Language System project, we have proposed enhancements to the Metathesaurus by the inclusion of terms from two source vocabularies with different unique perspectives or views. This process has disclosed a number of issues that arise as complexity increases. These issues must be resolved if the resultant Metathesaurus is to support the variety of uses for which it is intended.
为了创建一个全面的医学概念分类法,有必要识别临床、书目和其他源词汇表之间存在的差距并调和差异。作为统一医学语言系统项目的一部分,我们提议通过纳入来自具有不同独特视角或观点的两个源词汇表的术语来增强元词表。这一过程揭示了随着复杂性增加而出现的一些问题。如果最终的元词表要支持其预期的各种用途,就必须解决这些问题。
