title: Automatic checking of the correctness of clinical guidelines in GLARE.
abstract: Representing clinical guidelines is a very complex knowledge-representation task, requiring a lot of expertise and efforts. Nevertheless, guideline representations often contain several kinds of errors. Therefore, checking the well-formedness and correctness of a guideline representation is an important task, which can be drastically improved with the adoption of computer programs. In this paper, we discuss the advanced facilities provided by the GLARE system to assist physicians to produce correct representations of clinical guidelines.
