Abstract
In this digital world, data is everything and significantly impacts our everyday lives. Interestingly, in this small world, everything is part of an ecosystem, where everything is connected, directly or indirectly. The same thing happens to data as well. In most cases, it may seem like a particular topic does not have any connection with another one, but in reality, they are connected through a mutually related topic. Therefore, in this research, we will discuss an adaptive model modified from the ABC model by Don R. Swanson, a Literature-Based Discovery (LBD) Model, to find the hidden connections between Concepts of Interest. The model demonstrates that two topics, “A” and “C,” are different and have no relationship. But they have a common topic, “B,” that can be used to connect topics “A” and “C.” This famous model will be used in this discussion to connect Medical Concepts.
