MetaMap to identity potential terms for indexing MEDLINE articles

MetaMap is a widely available program providing access from biomedical text to the concepts in the unified medical language system (UMLS) Metathesaurus. MetaMap uses NLP to provide a link between the text of biomedical literature and the knowledge, including synonymy relationships, embedded in the Metathesaurus. The flexible architecture in which to explore mapping strategies and their application are made available. MTI uses the MetaMap to generate
potential indexing terms.
