Validating clinical terminology structures: integration and cross-validation of Read Thesaurus and GALEN

A European pre-standard and an intermediate representation facilitated exchange of two independently authored compositional knowledge bases: one formal and automatically classified, the other manually classified. The exchange highlights different strengths and weaknesses in each approach, and offers a mechanism for partial, mutual quality assurance.
