We have analyzed guidelines according to their semantic relations in order to generate a formal representation. We used the UMLS Semantic Network as a basis for our analysis. We defined relations that will be used to automatically identify the control flow described in guidelines for generating a computer-interpretable format. A study showed that by using semantic relations we are able to discover a large part of the control flow. }, year = {2010}, journal = {Proc. of the KR4HC 2010 - 2nd International Workshop on Knowledge Representation for Health-Care in conjunction with the European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI 2010)}, month = {August 17th}, address = {Lisbon, Portugal}, }
