Using Lexical, Terminological and Ontological Resources for Entity Recognition Tasks in the Medical Domain
This paper reports on a case-study of applying various publicly available resources (lexical, terminological and ontological) for medical recognition tasks, that is, for identifying medical entities in the analysis of clinical practice guideline texts. Th

Preface
The incursion of information and communication technologies (ICT) in health care entails evident benefits at the levels of security and efficiency that improve not only the quality of life of the patients, but also the quality of the work of the health care professionals and the costs of national health care systems. Leaving research approaches aside, the analysis of ICT in health care shows an evolution from the initial interest in representing and storing health care data (i.e., electronic health care records) to the current interest of having remote access to electronic health care systems, as for example HL7 initiatives or telemedicine. This sometimes imperceptible evolution can be interpreted as a new step of the progress path of health care informatics, whose next emerging milestone is the convergence of current solutions with formal methods for health care knowledge management. In this sense, K4CARE is a European project aiming at contributing to this progress path. It is centered on the idea that health care knowledge represented in a formal way may favor the treatment of home care patients in modern societies. The project highlights several aspects that are considered relevant to the evolution of medical informatics: health care knowledge production, health care knowledge integration, update, and adaptation, a
