    Electronic medical records have been adopted gradually in many hospitals and they are becoming invaluable information resources for evidence-based clinical medicine. Standardized disease names should be recorded in such electronic medical records for advanced analyses for clinical researches and the standard master of controlled terms was developed and released in 2002. In the master, only one disease name label for a disease concept is defined as the standard name and there are no semantic relationships among the concepts. Now the authors are developing an advanced clinical ontology based on the policy that diseases could be defined by a combination of a focused disordered condition and partial causal chain of related conditions including the focus. In this paper, the standard master and the advanced clinical ontology will be introduced.

    This paper describes the Japan Agricultural Thesaurus (JAT) and its use. Terms were collected from academic dictionaries and others in the Japanese agricultural research fields, and AGROVOC, a multilingual thesaurus in Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. JAT has both broader / narrower and equivalence relationships between terms according to AGROVOC. We faced some problems with JAT such as 1) Japanese terms with multiple translations in English, 2) English terms with multiple translations in Japanese, 3) many Japanese notations of scientific names, and 4) many orthographic variants. Both morpheme and synonym dictionaries developed from JAT were utilized in existing systems, because improved accuracy in morpheme analysis and retrieval of relevant information respectively. JAT is available for free.
