title: Mapping nursing concepts to ontologies for evidence-based nursing.
abstract: In this paper we describe a project to map natural language expressions of nursing-related concepts to standard ontologies in support of an evidence-based nursing initiative. Natural language concept expressions are identified from syntheses of nursing knowledge and mapped to ICNP and SNOMED-CT.
