=== Abstract ===<br />
<br />
:A Natural Language Understanding system is provided for indexing of free text<br />
documents. The system according to the invention utilizes typographical and<br />
functional segmentation of text to identify those portions of free text that carry<br />
meaning. The system then uses words and multi-word terms and phrases identified in<br />
the free to text to identify concepts in the free text. The system uses a lexicon of terms<br />
linked to a formal ontology that is independent of a specific language to extract<br />
concepts from the free text based on the words and multi-word terms in the free text.<br />
The formal ontology contains both language independent domain knowledge<br />
concepts and language dependent linguistic concepts that govern the relationships<br />
between concepts and contain the rules about how language works. The system<br />
according to the current invention may preferably be used to index medical<br />
documents and assign codes from independent coding systems, such as, SNOMED,<br />
ICD-9 and ICD-10. The system according to the current invention may also preferably<br />
make use of syntactic parsing to improve the efficiency of the method. <br />
