What is MEDIE?

MEDIE is an intelligent search engine to retrieve biomedical correlations from MEDLINE, based on indexing by Natural Language Processing and Text Mining techniques. You can find abstracts/sentences in MEDLINE by specifying semantics of correlations; for example, "What activates p53" and "What causes colon cancer".

Currently, 18,798,166 MEDLINE articles are indexed. (last update: Wed Nov 18 12:00:00 2009)


Semantic search is to use a semantic query for finding biomedical correlations. Input a subject, a verb, and an object of a concept (or either of them) into a form. Results of the query will be shown in a second.

Examples:


A GCL query is directly passed to a GCL server. See the following table for the details of GCL. If you want to see examples of GCL queries, just click "Show query" in the search summary of semantic/keyword search, and you will see a GCL query submitted to a server.

The customization of the number of results is available as in Semantic Search.

A list of GCL operators:

[tag]Region covered with "<tag>"
A > BA containing B
A >> BA containing B (A is not nested)
A < BA contained by B
A << BA contained by B (B is not nested)
A - BStarting with A and ending with B
A = BA immediately followed by B
A & BA and B
A | B A or B
$XVariable (used only in attribute values)
