A method for the development of disease-specific reference standards vocabularies from textual biomedical literature resources

作者:

Highlights:

• A method was proposed for developing disease-specific reference vocabularies.

• Expert-curated documents are useful sources for disease-specific vocabularies.

• Contributions to the vocabulary vary among sources on a same subject.

• Near saturation can be achieved with a relatively small number of literature sources.

• The numbers of sources for near-saturation change slightly among conditions.
