Hi David, I would like to say yes,they would be of use but I don't know for sure. At the moment our processing is just to recognise SCT terms (no deeper sematnics is implied, i.e. we're not doing deeper semantic analysis), however it also most important to understand how variable clinical notes can be and as well to start opening the question of "localisation", that is how does any automatic system tackle the problem of the writer idiosyncrasies. So my answer is yes we do want your notes so that even if we can't find any SCT terms we learn something about why we can't find them and adjust our search strategies accordingly. thanks jon Quoting dguest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
