What types of questions do clinicians ask?
Spans Entity Types
- Drugs
- Diagnosis
- Symptoms
- Phenotypes
- Diseases
- …

5. H-Graph: The Elsevier Health Knowledge Graph
400K+ medical concepts with relations and extensive
mappings to industry vocabularies and multi-language support
4.9M+ semantic relations extracted from medical
literature using NLP and convolutional neural networks
Deep and expressive graph model extends relations with
qualitative and quantitative context
Graph-based knowledge representations power
advanced clinical decision support applications

7. Deeper Data Lies in Products
But how do we get at it with
minimal impact to current
workflows?

8. Use Linked Data to Integrate

9. Linked Data Principles are under specified
• What syntax do you provide and as a
consumer can you expect?
• What names spaces do you use?
• How do you link to single sign-on?
• What links should you set?
