first step, available monolingual lexical resources are compiled into a common interchange format. Secondly,
according to a linking format deciced by the authors, the cross-lingual mappings of lexical entries are added. We
show how these mappings can be generated using a morpho-semantic term normalization engine, which captures
intra- as well as interlingual synonymy relationships on the level of subwords.},

The focus of the paper is based on the description of the constituent structure and functionally oriented annotation of the corpus. Moreover, the annotation scheme adopted, which incorporates three main layers of linguistic processing, lexical analysis, shallow semantic analysis and syntactic processing, will be exemplified. For the syntactic analysis we use a cascaded finite-state parser, aware of the shallow semantic annotations produced. The result of this analysis, including syntactic parsing and shallow semantic analysis, is transformed into the TIGER-XML interchange format. Our goal is to produce a large, rich in annotations, medical treebank suitable for both corpus-based grammar learning systems, for semantic relation extraction and for linguistic exploration of theoretical nature.},

	abstract     = {Corpora annotated with structural and linguistic characteristics play a major role in nearly every area of language processing. 
During recent years a number of corpora and large data sets became known and available to research even in specialized fields
 such as medicine, but still however, targeted predominantly for the English language. This paper provides a description of the 
collection, encoding and linguistic processing of an ever growing Swedish medical corpus, the MEDLEX Corpus. MEDLEX consists
 of a variety of text-documents related to various medical text genres. The MEDLEX Corpus has been structurally annotated 
using the Corpus Encoding Standard for XML (XCES), lemmatized and automatically annotated with part-of-speech and 
semantic information (extended named entities and the Medical Subject Headings, MeSH, terminology). 
The results from the processing stages (part-of-speech, entities and terminology) have been merged into a single 
representation format and syntactically analysed using a cascaded finite state parser. 
Finally, the parser’s results are converted into a tree structure that follows the TIGER-XML coding scheme, resulting a suitable
 for further exploration and fairly large Treebank of Swedish medical texts.

	abstract     = {This paper addresses the task of recognizing acronym-definition pairs in Swedish (medical) texts as well as the compilation of a freely 
available sample of such manually annotated pairs. A material suitable not only for supervised learning experiments, but also as 
a testbed for the evaluation of the quality of future acronym-definition recognition systems. There are a number of approaches to 
the identification described in the literature, particularly within the biomedical domain, but none of those addresses the variation and 
complexity exhibited in a language other than English. This is realized by the fact that we can have a mixture of two languages in
 the same document and/or sentence, i.e. Swedish and English; that Swedish is a compound language that significantly deteriorates 
the performance of previous approaches (without adaptations) and, most importantly, the fact that there is a large variation of 
possible acronym-definition permutations realized in the analysed corpora, a variation that is usually ignored in previous studies.
