DeGeL - Digital electronic Guideline Library

Introduction: Clinical guidelines are a powerful method for standardization and uniform improvement of the quality of medical care, while reducing the escalating costs of medical care. However, most guidelines are in free text, not machine comprehensible, and are not easily accessible to clinicians at the point of care. The Digital Electronic Guideline Library (DeGeL) framework is a web-based, modular, distributed architecture in which we investigate, design and evaluate computational tools to perform the tasks involved in automated support to clinical guideline-based care.
The framework supports various tasks with set of specific tools such as:

1. Uruz - Gradual conversion of free-text clinical guidelines into a machine-comprehensible representation in a given target guideline ontology.
2. IndexiGuide - Manual or automated classification of clinical guidelines along multiple semantic axes.
3. Vaidurya - Search and retrieval of clinical guidelines represented in free text, or in a semi-structured format that uses the labels of a given target ontology.
4. VisiGuide - Visualization and browsing of a set of guidelines in a target ontolog
