FYI--the American College of Radiology created the BI-RADS terminology precisely for the purposes of providing a controlled lexicon for radiology observations on mammography. Extensions on this are needed to describe findings in ultrasound and MRI (future work in BI-RADS). There is a possibil

HI Chris -- You wrote... I think the only option here is to embrace rdf-reification (and to push for better syntax, query and tool support). Would the approach in question 8 of www.reengineeringllc.com/demo_agents/RDFQueryLangComparison1.agent be useful ? We map such queries automatically

Dear Alan, Thank you for making my point much more clearly than I managed. I'm a little wary of probabilities in situations like the one you describe, as it always seems a little hard to pin down what is meant by them. At least with the symbolic approach, you can give a short paragraph saying

I'd agree - I suspect that simply matching terms doesn't help that much - we'd need to know the context of it, but then it all gets very sticky. There is some work on mining the Chemistry literature from Cambridge (UK) - using ? OSCAR/ Sci-ML I think We've done a little work in the clin
