Description: "The objective of CISMeF (French acronym for Catalog and Index of French-language health resources) is to describe and index the main French- language health resources to assist health professionals and consumers in their search for electronic information available on the Internet. In April 2002, the number of indexed resources totaled over 9,600 with a mean of 50 new sites each week. ICISMeF is a quality-controlled subject gateway initiated by the Rouen University Hospital (RUH). Its Universal Resource Locator (URL) are http://www.chu-rouen.fr/cismef & http://www.cismef.org. CISMeF began in February 1995. CISMeF uses two standard tools for organizing information: the Medline bibliographic database MeSH thesaurus and several metadata element sets, including the Dublin Core. Resources included in CISMeF are described by the following: title, author or creator, subject and keywords, description, publisher, date, resource type, format, identifier, and language. To index resources, CISMeF uses four different concepts: "meta-term", keyword, subheading, and resource type. CISMeF contains a thematic index, including medical specialities and an alphabetic index. CISMeF respects the Net Scoring, criteria to assess the quality of health information on the Internet. The CISMeF project offers a valuable tool for the French-speaking health community: over 11,000 computers visit the Web site each working day."
