</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> This paper proposed specificity measuring methods for terms based on information theory like measures using compositional and contextual information of terms. The methods are experimented on the terms in MeSH thesaurus. Hybrid method showed the best precision of 82.0%, because two methods complemented each other. As the proposed methods don't use domain dependent information, the methods easily can be adapted to other domains.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> In the future, the system will be modified to handle various term formations such as abbreviated form. Morphological structure analysis of words is also needed to use the morpheme level information. Finally we will apply the proposed methods to terms of other domains and terms in general domains such as WordNet.</Paragraph>
