    Dear Patrick,

    You can find some recent references to this subject on one of the pages of a
    course I give at the moment:

    http://dfki.de/~paulb/lexsem_week4.2000.html

    Also, I would like to ask you about your work on semantic annotation of
    medical text. We just started a European-American project on cross-lingual
    information access in the medical domain, which will include quite a bit of
    semantic annotation efforts for the purposes of medical terminology and
    relation extraction. Therefore I would be rather interested to learn more
    about the experiences you have made so far with UMLS tagging. Please let me
    know about any material available.

    Finally, I would like to make you aware of a workshop I co-organize on
    Semantic Annotation, which will be held in Luxembourg, August 5th/6th, in
    conjunction with the COLING conference:
