Dictionaries, referencing

Lexical extraction extracting concepts from the text, using extensive lexicons referencing the various lexical forms a concept may take (e.g., synonyms, quasi-synonyms), each dictionary being triggered, controlled, or suppressed by contexts. 

Medical dictionaries often need to be referenced when creating various analysis data sets For instance, perhaps the raw adverse event database in your clinical data management system contains only the MedDRA code. The code is worth having, but you would need the adverse event body system and preferred medical term to provide a useful summary of events. 

For this book to serve as a completely satisfactory reference, it must be structured so that a reader who comes to it with one specific word in mind that is related to the simple, natural isoquinolines, can immediately locate all other related entries. Total cross-referencing is needed. As a way to simplify this type of search, the main part of this book is actually a collection of three indices. Each index is arranged alphabetically, very much like a dictionary. The first index lists the common trivial names, the second lists the structures of the compounds themselves and the plants that contain them, and the third lists the taxonomic names of these plants and the compounds that have been found in them. 

The calculation dictionary defines the procedures required to perform calculations on test data.

These surfactants are well established as extremely mild surfactants [7]. They are referenced in the CTFA dictionary as sodium coco (or lauryl) amphoacetate and disodium coco (or lauryl) amphodi-acetate. Amphoterics are widely used in mild, tear-free shampoos and sensitive skin cleansers due to their favorable surfactant properties, low irritation profile, and irritation-mollifying properties [8], Amphoacetates or diacetates are excellent foaming agents, even in hard water, and they exhibit compatibility with all other types of surfactants. 

The Dictionary is arranged alphabetically by entry name. Every entry is numbered to assist ready location. Many compounds are included as derivatives of main entry compounds but important derivatives have their own individual cross-referenced entries. Use of the indexes enables the rapid location of all compounds in the Dictionary by name or compound type, regardless of their location.

Given that the Dictionary consists of some seven million words, and that even many remarks run to several thousand, making cuts within an article could not be avoided. A strategy was to omit a whole remark in order to leave as intact as possible the remarks retained. Omitted remarks and footnotes remain referenced in the body of the text in square brackets, and can be consulted in the complete editions. Cuts are indicated by ... , whether within the body of the text or within a remark .
