What is Terminology

Chapter 11
Handbook of Research on Distributed Medical Informatics and E-Health
A collection of names of the entities involved in a domain. It simply states which are the principal terms used in the domain without any further information. Though it is a quite simplistic approach, yet it is extremely useful because helps computer programs to recognize the relevant terms and concentrate only on them. Although sometimes could be difficult to understand the difference between a terminology and a controlled vocabulary, the former is just a list of the terms used in a domain, while the latter guarantees that its terms are precise, accurate and unequivocal.

Abstract
This chapter mainly focuses on biomedical knowledge representation and its use in biomedicine. It first illustrates the existent more relevant bioinformatics resources and why they need to be better integrated. Then it describes what the main problems that machines can encounter in processing the factual biomedical knowledge are, what terminologies, classifications and ontologies are, and why they could help in better organizing and exploiting the bioinformatics resources available online. The authors hope that a concise perspective of the field and a list of selected resources, commented with their scope and usability, may help interested people in quickly understanding the main principles of knowledge representation in biomedicine and its high relevance for modern biomedical research and e-health.
