Model and technology for discovering new terms in medical texts

The model of information technology for discovering new terms in medical texts, which belongs to the previously defined class of informatics' medium models, is considered. In the conducted experiment, the MeSH (Medical Subject Headers) dictionary is used to determine the novelty of terms which was created and updated by the National Library of Medicine (USA). The emergence of new terms is due to the representation (in medical papers and other scientific texts) of new knowledge about the studied diseases, methods of their treatment, and medicines used which has not yet been reflected in medical dictionaries and thesauri. In information systems of medical institutions, the proposed technology makes it possible to regularly update the profiles of the studied diseases corresponding to their subject domain. The aim of the paper is to describe the medium model of information technology for updating terminological profiles of diseases.
