Workshop on
Foundations of Clinical Terminologies and Classifications (FCTC 2006)
Timişoara, Romania, April 8, 2006.

FCTC 2006 will be held on April 8, 2006 in Timişoara, Romania, as a satellite workshop within the EFMI Special Topic Conference "Integrating Biomedical Information: From e-Cell to e-Patient".

This Workshop is the first of its kind. It is being organized by EFMI, GMDS (project group "Standardized Medical Terminologies") and the EU Network of Excellence "Semantic Mining".

Recent developments in clinical terminology construction have brought together specialists from different disciplines, such as Medicine, Computer Science, Philosophy, and Linguistics. Different genres of clinical terminologies co-exist: the former distinction between formal terminologies, classifications, vocabularies, nomenclatures and thesauri is increasingly being challenged by the notion of "ontology". There are controversies between linguistic approaches (aiming at representing term meanings) and ontological ones (which strive for a representation of biomedical reality). There is also an increasing quest for "good practice" recommendations for biomedical terminologies.
