Ontology-Based Post-Coordinated Expression Assembly: from Clinical Narrative to Queryable Knowledge Graphs
Clinical oncology documentation records decisive information in free text, where it remains readable but not retrievable at scale, leaving cohort identification dependent on incomplete diagnostic codes or manual review. The current standard, coding individual terms, captures what a document mentions, not what it asserts: meaning lies in how those terms relate to one another.
