The multilingual search engine ARRS GoldMiner Global was created to facilitate broad international access to a richly indexed collection of more than 200,000 radiologic images. Images are indexed according to key-words and medical concepts that appear in the unstructured text of their English-language image captions. GoldMiner Global exploits the Unicode standard, which allows the accurate representation of characters and ideographs from virtually any language and which supports both left-to-right and right-to-left text directions. The user interface supports queries in Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, or Spanish. GoldMiner Global incorporates an interface to the United States National Library of Medicine that translates queries into English-language Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms. The translated MeSH terms are then used to search the image index and retrieve relevant images. Explanatory text, pull-down menu choices, and navigational guides are displayed in the selected language; search results are displayed in English. GoldMiner Global is freely available on the World Wide Web.
多语言搜索引擎ARRS GoldMiner Global的创建是为了便于国际上广泛访问一个索引丰富的超过200,000张放射影像的集合。影像根据其英文影像说明的非结构化文本中出现的关键词和医学概念进行索引。GoldMiner Global利用Unicode标准，该标准允许准确表示几乎任何语言的字符和表意文字，并且支持从左到右和从右到左的文本方向。用户界面支持用阿拉伯语、中文、法语、德语、意大利语、日语、韩语、葡萄牙语、俄语或西班牙语进行查询。GoldMiner Global集成了与美国国立医学图书馆的接口，该接口将查询翻译成英文医学主题词（MeSH）术语。然后使用翻译后的MeSH术语搜索影像索引并检索相关影像。解释性文本、下拉菜单选项和导航指南以所选语言显示；搜索结果以英文显示。GoldMiner Global可在万维网上免费获取。
