Abstract
Currently, various guideline representation languages are available. However, these languages are too complex and algorithmic to be used by medical staff or guideline developers. Therefore, a big gap is between the informa tion represented in published guidelines by guideline developers and the formal representation of clinical guideline used in an execution model. We try to close this gap by analyzing existing clinical guidelines written in free text, tables, or flow chart notation with the target of detecting prototypical patterns in those guidelines.
