A cross-language document retrieval system based on semantic annotation


Sacaleanu, B; Buitelaar, P; Volk, Martin (2003). A cross-language document retrieval system based on semantic annotation. In: EACL, Budapest, Hungary, 2003.

Abstract

The paper describes a cross-lingual document retrieval system in the medical domain that employs a controlled vocabulary (UMLS1) in constructing an XML-based intermediary representation into which queries as well as documents are
mapped. The system assists in the retrieval of English and German medical scientific abstracts relevant to a German
query document (electronic patient record). The modularity of the system allows for deployment in other domains, given appropriate linguistic and semantic resources.
