NLM Gateway Enhances Search and Display of Meeting Abstracts

NLM Gateway Enhances Search and Display of Meeting Abstracts. NLM Tech Bull. 2006 Jan-Feb;(348):b1.

February 06, 2006 [posted]

Over 98% of the Meeting Abstracts in the NLM Gateway now include the conference name in the record. All of the meeting abstracts from a particular conference can be retrieved by searching the conference name. Use the new field qualifier [CN] (which will also search the Corporate Author in Meeting Abstracts, PubMed, and NLM Catalog). For more information, see the Gateway FAQ: How do I search for abstracts from a particular professional conference?.

In addition, Meeting Abstracts search results are now retrieved from standardized XML data. This allows additional fields to be displayed, as well as the display of diacritics. In the conversion to standardized XML output, some fields were converted to other existing fields while some were dropped. For a list of current fields, see Display Formats Data Elements by Collection for Meeting Abstracts in the Gateway's Help.
