[Corpora-List] Anonymization or de-identification guidelines and software?

[Demner Fushman, Dina (NIH/NLM/LHC) [E]]

For clinical records, we use the US Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) Privacy and Security Rules (see http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/ )

A discussion of de-id software is at http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/468492_4 

You could also try one of the clinical-text oriented tools: the MITRE Identification Scrubber Toolkit (MIST)

Dear Eric and others,

I'm afraid the BNC standard of anonymization is seriously inadequate (see
for instance the discussion in sec. 4.1 of the documentation file for my
CHRISTINE Corpus, www.grsampson.net/ChrisDoc.html).  I recommend the
article "Policy and practice in the anonymisation of linguistic data" by
Frances Rock, "International Journal of Corpus Linguistics" 6.1–26, 2001.
