Abstract

The MedIndEx (Medical Indexing Expert) research project combines artificial intelligence and information retrieval principles and methods to develop and test an interactive knowledge-based prototype for computer-assisted indexing of the MEDLINE database. By encoding the indexing scheme in a knowledge base (KB), and designing a system for indexers to use in a workstation environment, the objective of this project is to facilitate "expert indexing" that is performed at the National Library of Medicine
