None of the above methods could take into account the popularity of a specific information item.
Although the summary is short, coherent, information rich and less redundant, there are some limitations in this method: some information items which are difficult for creating meaningful and grammatical sentences can be eliminated; in information item retrieval module, if the parser could not parse correctly the syntactic tree, then the linguistic quality of summaries is low.
Method for Classifying the 107 Four Diagnostic Methods' Information Items into HPO.
The 107 four diagnostic methods' information items could be classified into HPO by 6 kinds of methods, which had been described detailedly at the section of "Results HPO categorization results of 107 pieces of four diagnostic methods' information".
Mean information item importance scores ranged from 5.9/10 to 8.7/10.
The major difference between the proposed method and traditional requirements collection methods is that it provides a theoretical linkage to integrate process models and a set of specific information items used in them.
The items relate to the title and abstract (items 1 and 2), background and objectives (item 3), methods (items 4 through 12), results (items 13 through 17), discussion (items 18 through 20), and other information (items 21 and 22).
This iterative process resulted in a 42-item scale (MS Relapse Management Scale, MSRMS), which measures four aspects of patients' experiences of relapse management: Access to Care (6 items), Coordination of Care (11 items), Information (7 items), and Interpersonal Care (18 items) (see Additional File 1 for Copy of the MSRMS and see Additional File 2 for Scoring methods for the MSRMS).
We classified information on methods items as (1) completely reported, (2) partly reported, or (3) not reported.
15 The former is a checklist of 22 items related to the reporting of title (one item), introduction (two items), methods (nine items), results (five items), discussion (four items) and funding information (one item).
