  title = {Identifying Patterns in Clinical Guidelines},
  abstract = {<p>This master’s thesis is embedded in the Asgaard Project, which concentrates<br>on developing methods and programs for authoring, verifying and executing<br>clinical protocols. The goal of this thesis was to identify relevant pattern in<br>clinical guidelines.<br>First of all, it was necessary to detect guidelines which were suitable for the<br>further work. For this reason, miscellaneous medical and technical criteria<br>had to be defined, which the guidelines had to meet. After the selection of<br>10 guidelines, it was possible to start with the major task – the analysis. For<br>the detection of recurring pattern the domain of text linguistics was taken.<br>These detected pattern were classified and specified in detail. Afterwards,<br>one group of these detected pattern was chosen, which was suitable for the<br>implementation in Asbru. These chosen pattern were implemented in Asbru<br>and macros for the Guideline Markup Tool (GMT) were developed<br>subsequently.<br>The major objective of this thesis was to provide a detailed analysis of the<br>process which leads to the generation of pattern in clinical guidelines.<br>Beginning with the selection of the guidelines, the identification of pattern,<br>the implementation of pattern in Asbru until the generation of macros in<br>GMT – all necessary steps of the development of pattern were completely<br>specified and explained within this thesis.</p>},
