Abstract: Objective:
The Enriched Semantic Network (ESN) was introduced as an
extension of the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS)
Semantic Network (SN). Its multiple subsumption
configuration and concomitant multiple inheritance make
the ESN's relationship structures and semantic type
assignments different from those of the SN. A technique
for deriving the relationship structures of the ESN's
semantic types and an automated technique for deriving
the ESN's semantic type assignments from those of the SN
are presented. |
