Natural Language Searching : 

November 3, 2008 13 Natural Language Searching

Natural Language Searching : 

November 3, 2008 14 Natural Language Searching Uses four steps to help you search Ovid Books more thoroughly: Natural Language analysis Synonym Expansion Passage Searching Relevance Ranking

Natural Language Searching : 

November 3, 2008 15 Natural Language Searching Enter a question or describe a topic in ordinary English terms. Ovid filters to eliminate irrelevant terms and expands each concept using word variants taken from a proprietary medical lexicon. Obtain best results by: Stating your question as concisely as possible Using nouns more than verbs Avoiding common spelling errors Use Check Spelling

Synonym Expansion : 

November 3, 2008 16 Synonym Expansion When searching Books@Ovid, the software automatically expands your query: Singular and plural forms of your search terms (truncation ) Strong synonyms from a lexicon Hyponyms (car is a hyponym of vehicle) Acronyms (like an abbreviation) Alternative spellings (British or US English)

Passage Searching : 

November 3, 2008 17 Passage Searching Search results involve passages of text which include your search terms (and/or their synonyms). The closer the terms are to one another, the more relevant the results are likely to be.

Relevance Ranking : 

November 3, 2008 18 Relevance Ranking Star Scores indicate how relevant passages are to your question. ***** All search concepts are present and complete **** All concepts are present but some are incomplete *** One concept is missing ** Two concepts are missing * More than two concepts are missing
