Algorithm for UMLS metathesaurus concepts specificity estimation using example of analysis of the semantic model describing axial spondyloarthritis differential diagnostics

Background. Early axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) diagnostics is a difficult task requiring clinical decision support (CDS) making. Currently, there is a big unstructured data applicable in CDS systems development. Semantic data analysis is a complex issue to solve, and unified tools for named entity recognition are required. The biggest data source for biomedical text annotation is the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) Metathesaurus. It includes more than 11 million atomic terms for writing...
