* Task Description*
***********************
Scientific research is almost exclusively published in unstructured text 
formats, which are not readily machine-readable. Thus, information 
extraction methods have been used widely to extract entities of 
different types from scholarly publication with the broader vision of 
constructing research knowledge graphs that are easy to consume and use 
in research information systems.

While software are important parts of the scientific process and should 
therefore be recognized as first class citizen of research, methods for 
software mention detection are still not widely available and used. 
Given the scale and heterogeneity of software citations, robust methods 
are required to detect and disambiguate mentions of software and related 
metadata. The SOftware Mention Detection in Scholarly Publications 
(SOMD) task will utilise the SoMeSci – Software mentions in Science– 
corpus to address three different subtasks in the context of software 
citations. Participants can sign up for one or more subtasks. Automated 
evaluations of submitted systems are done through the Codalab platform.

Subtask I: Software mention recognition.
Subtask II: Additional information.
Subtask III: Relation classification.
