Kaim Associates, Inc., Releases Kaim Taxonomy Server (Kats) V1.0, To Create Targeted Run-Time Taxonomies Using Controlled Medical Vocabularies Such As Mesh, Meddra, UMLS, SNOMED CT, Or Proprietary Vocabularies

The Kaim Taxonomy Server (KaTS) provides enhanced searching of the text of a corporate intranet, website, or file system. KaTS utilizes “spider” technology to extract the complete text of these sources into a text-searchable database. This database enables the creation of a taxonomy of the source files, which enhances searching by enabling users to find all occurrences, not only of any term or phrase in the source files, but also of synonyms and narrower terms. This is accomplished by cross-checking terms from the source files against entries in selected controlled medical vocabularies (CMVs) and extracting those that match into a “targeted” thesaurus.
