Abstract

The Encyclopedia of China contains considerably complete medical knowledge in unrestricted text. We have been developing a new method for extracting medical knowledge from the Electronic Encyclopedia of China. The method consists of two major parts: a high-level conceptual description language for use by knowledge engineers to formalize the text and a knowledge compiler for compiling the formalized text to a conceptual model.

This work is supported by a grant from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (#2000-4010), and a grant from the Foundation of Chinese Natural Science (#20010010-A)
