Abstract
CodeSlinger is a highly interactive and semi-intelligent application designed to support the search and navigation of large biomedical coding schemes, thesauri, and ontologies. We discuss how CodeSlinger is used by epidemiologist/physicians in the creation of coding sets for data extraction and analysis, the exploratory nature of the application, and finally, the issues facing our knowledge-representation model and extension of the UMLS.
