Verbs in MEDLINE Searches & MEDIE (Third-Party PubMed Tool)
Created by the University of Tokyo’s Tsujii Laboratory, I was reminded of MEDIE by seeing the title of a recent article:
Bertaud, Valerie; Said, W.; Garcelon, Nicolas; Marin, Franck;
Duvauferrier, Regis. “The value of using verbs in Medline searches”
Medical Informatics & The Internet in Medicine 32.2 (2007). 05 Jun. 2007
MEDIE is an intelligent search engine to retrieve biomedical correlations from MEDLINE. You can find abstracts/sentences in MEDLINE by specifying semantics of correlations
http://www.informaworld.com/10.1080/14639230601140711
MEDIE formulates queries by offering the user three fields: Subject, Verb, and Object.
Examples:
- "What does p53 activate?" (subject=”p53″, verb=”activate”)
- "What induces MAPK1?" (verb=”induce”, object=”MAPK1″)
- "What causes colon cancer?" (verb=”cause”, object=”colon cancer”)
- "What interacts with CD4?" (verb=”interact with”, object=”CD4″)
- "What does not cause cancer?" (verb=”cause”, object=”cancer”, modifier=”not”)

[...] I’d like to rectify that this week. I’m going to start with MEDIE, and then talk about one PubMed third party tool per day. I look forward to sharing my thoughts with you, and hopefully learning from your ideas and experiences with these tools and teaching/learning in general. Please feel free to use the comments for further dialog. [...]

[...] As per David’s original post, it is a semantic search engine. The first time I learned of semantic search and natural language, I thought “interesting!” in the way that means “when’s lunch?” [...]
