A computational system based on ontologies to automate the mapping process of medical reports into structured databases

作者：

Highlights：

• A computational system was developed according to software engineering prototyping.

• An original ontology-based Medical Report Mapping Process was automated in this work.

• The system supports automatic mapping of unstructured texts into structured format.

• An experimental evaluation was performed in a set of 100 artificial textual reports.

• Experts found that the system is valuable to extract and analyze textual patterns.
