DrugTEMIST Guidelines: Annotation of Medication in Medical Documents

DrugTEMIST stands for Drug Text Mining Shared Task. It is a set of resources focused on the detection of medication mentions in clinical text in Spanish and other languages. DrugTEMIST is complementary to the DisTEMIST, ProcTEMIST and SympTEMIST corpora, as they all use the same document collection. 

This repository includes the Annotation Guidelines, a 17 pages-long document that describes how to annotate medications in medical documents. The guidelines are only available in Spanish.

DrugTEMIST was released as part of the MultiCardioNER Shared Task. MultiCardioNER was developed by the Barcelona Supercomputing Center's NLP for Biomedical Information Analysis and used as part of BioASQ 2024. For more information on the corpus, annotation scheme and task in general, please visit: https://temu.bsc.es/multicardioner. This task is promoted by Spanish and European projects such as DataTools4Heart, AI4HF, BARITONE and AI4ProfHealth.
