Abstract

MedSearch is a complete retrieval system for Medline, the premier bibliographic database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM). MedSearch implements SSRM, a novel information retrieval method for discovering similarities between documents containing semantically similar but not necessarily lexically similar terms.
