GALEN has developed a language independent common reference model based on a medically oriented ontology and practical tools and techniques for managing healthcare terminology including natural language processing. GALEN-IN-USE is the current phase which applied the modelling and the tools to the development or the updating of coding systems for surgical procedures in different national coding centre co-operating within the European Federation of Coding Centre (EFCC) to create a multilingual knowledge repository for multicultural Europe. NCAM (Nomenclature Commune des Actes Médicaux) is the new French multipurpose coding system for surgical procedures. The labels are processed from the intermediate dissections to the Grail representation and the natural language generation by the electronically related Medical Informatics research centres network of Saint Etienne, Manchester, Geneva and Nijmegen. The national coding centre is able to retrieve the initial labels with different categories of concepts, to compare the professional language proposed by expert clinicians to the French generated controlled vocabulary and to finalize the linguistic labels of the coding system in relation with the meanings of the conceptual system structure.
