The automatic detection of deontic operators can be a useful step to support Clinical Guidelines encoding.

An exemplaric deontic result is:

As a result, 95.5% of the occurrences of deontic expressions are correctly marked up.

In this paper, we present a novel approach to structure Clinical Guidelines through the automatic recognition of syntactic expressions called deontic operators.

Moral consistency is reflected in the Deontic Axiom:

Deontic logic allow us to translate:
