Abstract:

This paper focuses on the recent developments in international medical terminologies, and aims to provide useful reference for the development of medical terminologies in China. We selected five well-known international medical terminologies to investigate terms of the developing goals, essential components and major applications. Our results indicate that these terminologies have beneficial features of persistent updating, specific developing goals, open access, and rich semantic knowledge. We think the international medical terminologies can offer creatives and comprehensive insights into the standardization of medical terminologies in China.
