Subject: Keyword tagging of clinical
documents
We are developing our Department of Anesthesiology web portal
using Plone, an open source content management system that is based on Zope.
We are very pleased with the initial look and functionality of the site (www.uhcanesthesia.com). The site is
live, but please note is not yet populated with content and therefore not yet
officially open for business.
We hope to develop a considerable repository of documents
relevant to our clinical practice in anesthesiology, critical care and pain
medicine. One challenge we face is how to apply "keywords" to the tagging of
documents in order to increase the efficiency of indexing and information
retrieval.
Does anyone have any suggestions for how to approach the
creation of a suitable list of keywords, short of loading the entire MeSH
subject headings from the National Library of Medicine's Medline?!
