These guidelines describe the annotation and standardization process of the DISTEMIST corpus, a collection of 1,000 clinical cases in Spanish from different medical specialties (cardiology, oncology, urology, radiology, pediatrics, among others) annotated with disease mentions. Each of the mentions in the corpus has been standardized using the SNOMED-CT terminology.
