An automatic method for retrieving and indexing catalogues of biomedical courses

AMIA Annu Symp Proc. 2008 Nov 6:922.

Abstract

Although there is wide information about Biomedical Informatics education and courses in different Websites, information is usually not exhaustive and difficult to update. We propose a new methodology based on information retrieval techniques for extracting, indexing and retrieving automatically information about educational offers. A web application has been developed to make available such information in an inventory of courses and educational offers.
