7 Conclusions
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> In conclusion, adjectival modification plays an important role in biomedical texts, and knowledge about this phenomenon can be exploited in applications such as the retrieval of biomedical documents and for developing terminology services in the biomedical domain.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> In the future, we would like to identify patterns in biomedical terms and phrases based, in part, on classes of adjectival modifiers. Creating such a model for terms would constitute a generative approach to biomedical terminology, contrasting with the lists of precoordinated terms populating most terminology systems in the biomedical domain.</Paragraph>
