摘要：
We have previously described a user-interactive rule-based computer program (Dyna-SaurI) designed for dynamic thesaurus integration, and demonstrated its efficacy on integrating dermatological subsets of the MeSH and SNOMED thesauruses. In the present study, we have refined our rules for merging and mapping multiple thesauruses and tested these rules. We then applied them with a set of optimized parameters to the integration of a third thesaurus, a subset of the International Coding Index for Dermatology, with the Integrated MeSH-SNOMED thesaurus. The parameter changes resulted in improved ranking of more specific and conceptually closer terms.
