MEDDOPLACE Corpus: Gold Standard annotations for Medical Documents Place-related Content Extraction

MEDDOPLACE stands for MEDical DOcument PLAce-related Content Extraction. It is a shared task and set of resources focused on the detection, normalization (entity linking/toponym resolution) and classification of different kinds of places, as well as related types of information such as clinical departments, nationalities or patient movements, in medical documents in Spanish.

This repository includes the corpus' train and test sets in multiple formats, as well as the SNOMED gazetteer, cross-mapping between SNOMED and MeSH and the multilingual silver standard in 8 languages. For more information, please check the attached README file.

MEDDOPLACE was developed by the Barcelona Supercomputing Center's NLP for Biomedical Information Analysis and used as part of IberLEF 2023. For more information on the corpus, annotation scheme and task in general, please visit: https://temu.bsc.es/meddoplace.
