Standard linguistic resources available in the healthcare domain, such as the UMLS metathesaurus or SNOMED-CT, are widely used for this purpose, but with limitations such as lexical ambiguity of clinical terms. However, most of them are not ambiguous within a text limited to a given clinical specialty. This is one reason, in addition to others, for classifying clinical texts by the clinical specialty to which they belong. This lexicon contains a collection of medical terms in Spanish classified and weighted by biomedical subdomain (clinical specialty), using MEDLINE titles and abstracts in Spanish as a source of knowledge. ### Licensing Information SCOVACLIS is released under the [Apache-2.0 License](http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0). ### Citation Information ``` @article{lopez2021collecting, title={Collecting specialty-related medical terms: Development and evaluation of a resource for Spanish}, author={L{\'o}pez-{\'U}beda, Pilar and Pomares-Quimbaya, Alexandra and D{\'\i}az-Galiano, Manuel Carlos and Schulz, Stefan}, journal={BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making}, volume={21}, number={1}, pages={145}, year={2021}, publisher={Springer} } ```
