| Semantic Interoperability and Data Mining in Biomedicine is a Network of Excellence (NoE) funded by the European Commission under Framework 6. There are 26 work packages in this project. ITRI is involved in a number of them, including the mobility programmes (WP6), the workshop/tutorial on Natural Language Processing in the Biomedical domain (WP13), the workshop/tutorial on Text Mining and Information Retrieval (WP15), the research activity on multilingual medical dictionary (WP20) and the research activity on Ontology Engineering (WP21) |
Duration
The project has funding from 2004 to 2007. |
Objectives
| The general objective of the network is to bridge gaps in European research infrastructure and to facilitate cross-fertilisation between scientific disciplines such as computer science, system engineering and medical/clinical research. The long-term goal of the network is the development of generic methods and tools supporting critical tasks in medical and biomedical informatics, such as, data-mining, knowledge discovery, knowledge representation, abstraction and indexing of information, semantic-based information retrieval in a complex and high-dimensional information space, and knowledge based adaptive systems for provision of decision support for dissemination of evidence based medicine. |
