DATA MINING AND INTERNATIONAL NETWORKING IN TCM

Phil Rogers MVB, MRCVS,

Professionals need to update technical information relevant to their interests. They must know how to find new material and select the most relevant for study. Information technology (IT) offers busy professionals the most effective and speedy answers to many technical queries. Last year, PubMed Medline added more than 637K new titles. Assuming that each title had circa 4 pages of text, this represents >2.5M pages of text in the journals. If one adds text in non-Medline resources and new books, one can estimate that output of medically-related material exceeds >3.5M pages per year.

Classical ways to find data needed to solve medical problems include:

 

(a) searching hardcopy textbooks, journals and professional commercial

literature;

(b) visiting trusted colleagues, or networking through them;

(c) attendance at professional conferences and workshops. Against timeconstraints

due to a busy practice and family- or social- commitments, all of these ways are problematic.

This paper will discuss ways to mine digital technical data and to network internationally with colleagues in areas related to TCM, including:

(a) Live demonstrations of the use of free online databases (Medline and Cornell Consultant);

(b) Other specialist databases in TCM, acupuncture, herbal medicine and homeopathy, such as

Acubriefs, Acuxo, Yinyanghouse, ITM Online,

Sunten (Taiwan)

Mayfair Medical (HK)

(c) Membership of closed professional International Email Discussion Lists (such as PVA-L, PA-L, EVHMA, VBMA, ChineseHerbAcademy, Traditional_Chinese_Medicine List, etc);

(d) Use of WWW Search Engines, especially Google Advanced and Baidu (Chinese);

(e) Use of Copernic Desktop Search and online (free) translation (“Google Translate” and “Altavista Babelfish”) from European languages (German, French, etc) to English or from Oriental languages to English;

(f) Use of commercial Chinese / Japanese / Korean Translation Software (Wenlin and NJStar)., TCMAssistant
