The former is a lexico-conceptual knowledge base (KB) comprising information from four medical sub-domains (diagnostics, procedures, tumors and medicines). This resource is only accessible for the language and domain expert in charge of supervising the knowledge acquisition and KB-updating processes. The latter resource, Scriptum®, is the user’s tool; it contains a medical KB, transferred from WordMed®, together with a viewer for the user to access the knowledge stored in the KB. %U https://www.jbe-platform.com/content/journals/10.1075/term.7.1.07arr
