Abstract

The application of natural language processing (NLP) in the biology and medical domain crosses many fields from Healthcare Information to Bioinformatics to NLP itself. In order to make sense of how these fields relate and intersect, we have created "MedLingMap" (www.medlingmap.org) which is a compilation of references with a multi-faceted index. The initial focus has been creating the infrastructure and populating it with references annotated with facets such as topic, resources used (ontologies, tools, corpora), and organizations. Simultaneously we are applying NLP techniques to the text to find clusters, key terms and other relationships. The goal for this paper is to introduce MedLingMap to the community and show how it can be a powerful tool for research and exploration in the field.
