title: CIM explorer--intelligent tool for exploring the ICD Romanian version.
abstract: The CIM Explorer software provides us with an intelligent interface for exploring the Romanian version of the International Classification of Diseases (in Romanian Clasificarea Internationala a Maladiilor-CIM). The ICD was transposed from its initial appearance as a printed document into a database. The classification can be accessed in two modes: "Navigation" and "Code" and queried in the "Key words" mode. In the last mode CIM Explorer program searches for the right content of the ICD records starting from naturally written expressions which it "understands". As a results it returns all the records containing the key words regardless their grammatical form. This program implements the specificity of the Romanian language where the words are made up from a root and a flexional termination.
