Strategy and Roadmap
for TM in Biomedicine
Vast number of Google/Yahoo users, satisfied
Huge Demand for specialized tools for
TM in Bio-Medical Domains
Small number of users, unsatisfied
The current TM tools, though successful in some business applications,
do not meet requirements of users in bio-medical domains.
More publicity and marketing
More demand-oriented approach
What are the requirements for TM for users in bio-medical domains?
What technologies should be integrated in future TM for science?
Is the nature of TM in scientific fields different from that of business
applications?

Examples of Technical Seeds
• Term Variants
– Terms (names of proteins, genes, diseases,
symptoms, etc.) denote basic conceptual units in the
knowledge domain.
• Syntactic Variants
– Relationships and complex conceptual units are
mapped to sentences.
• Term Acquisition from Text
– New terms (basic conceptual units) are constantly
introduced. Resource building for specialized
domains is crucial.

• Term Variants
– Terms (names of proteins, genes, diseases, symptoms, etc.)
denote basic conceptual units in the knowledge domain.
• Syntactic Variants
– Relationships and complex conceptual units in the knowledge
domain are mapped to sentences in the language domain.
• Term Acquisition from Text
– New terms (basic conceptual units) are constantly introduced.
