Background
Problem Faced
Clinical Practice ontologies dont exist so far with appropriate characteristics for adequate reasoning and alignment with Well Founded Standards Automatic acquisition (population) is compulsory given that the size of the available data residing in EHRs renders manual curating impossible Automatic clinical concept acquisition tools have come of age to enable the automatic population of a suitable ontology for Clinical Practice The characteristics of the target Ontology is a matter not handled in the present work but is a research line issue by itself.
Conclusions
Both Computer Based Patient Record ontology (CPR) and Ontology for General Medical Science (OGMS) are ontologies of entities existing during clinical encounters. Include very general terms that are used across medical disciplines, including: 'disease', 'disorder', 'disease course', symptom, 'diagnosis', 'patient', and 'healthcare provider'. Both use the Basic Formal Ontology (BFO) as an upper-level ontology as support for Ontological Realism. Both provide a formal theory of disease that can be further elaborated by specific disease ontologies. This theory is implemented using OWL-DL. CPR is W3C Standard since 2009. OGMS is still very seminal .
TMM Tooling
Local
Create seminal TM, refine using customized MT (1) Manual translation of their jargon for the translator tutoring, (2) PDF to raw text, or to structured (XML). (3) NER (Named Entity Recognition), (4) WSD (Word Sense Disambiguation) according to the previously acquired concepts in our controlled vocabulary, (5) EAV (Extraction of Attributes and Values) is the final pure, single language, task that has to be performed and in which we need the tools that this paper refers to filter the concepts from the annotated text to extract concept instances, (6) Semantic annotation using the Web interface.
Remote
SOAP report depicts a clinical encounter in a semistructured way in a datable point of time. The Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan (SOAP) framework is a well-known, canonical structure in the medical domain.
Ontology population
Subjective, the symptoms section S where we extract directly into a cpr:symptom Objective, the O section where are sign records that we take as generator for cpr:clinical-findings or cpr:sign-finding Assessment, the analysis section A which are the clinical investigation acts cpr:clinical-investigation-act

CSI with QA
Knowledge representation and acquisition team in vora Discourse controller team for smart QuestionAnswering in Coimbra Currently only controlled cardiology environment is being developed. Generalization being the most challenging issue.

Conclusion
Automatic clinical concept acquisition tools have come of age to enable the automatic population of a suitable ontology for Clinical Practice The development of an Ontology based layer to represent the acquired medical knowledge allows for CSI at a conceptual level
