Affiliation of a Resource Type to a MeSH Term in a Quality-controlled Health Gateway

Among several quality-controlled health gateways, CISMeF ([French] acronym for Catalog and Index of French Language Health Resources on the Internet) was designed to catalog and index the most important and quality-controlled sources of institutional health information in French in order to allow end-users to search them quickly and precisely (N=14,714). The goal of this article is to describe and to evaluate another new enhancement of the CISMeF terminology: affiliation of a RT to a MeSH term or to a MeSH (term/subheading) pair.
