Re: HCLS Scientific Discourse concall, Autumn 2010 planning session

I'm sorry that I missed the call.  In case nobody brought it up, Tim and Paolo are working on trying to align the UIMA framework supporting information extraction from text with their Annotation Framework, which will be an excellent test case as well.

Hopefully I'll be able to join the call next time; Anita and I are actually at the BioCreative III workshop on information extraction from the biomedical literature right now which is why we both missed the call.  Tomorrow I've been asked to speak on an "interoperability" panel and I will bringing up aligning the BioNLP community more closely with the semantic web/linked data community.

Thanks,
Karin
