I did some preliminary work making use of conclusion sections in abstracts, representing them using Semantic Web / Linked Data technologies and aligning it with existing datasets produced by the HCLS IG. The e-mail became so long that I decided to turn it into a pre-print publication. Direct link to PDF: http://precedings.nature.com/documents/3775/version/1/files/npre20093775-1.pdf ====== Extracting conclusion sections from PubMed abstracts for rapid key assertion integration in biomedical research Available from Nature Precedings <http://precedings.nature.com/documents/3775/version/1> Key assertions are extracted from "conclusions" sections of PubMed abstracts and converted into Semantic Web / Linked Data format. The results are made accessible via files, a SPARQL endpoint, and a faceted search interface. Conclusion sections are identified as valuable resources for machine-augmented key assertion identification and integration in the biomedical domain. Results are discussed and opportunities for future work and cooperation are highlighted. ====== If you just want to have a quick look at the outcome without bothering reading the paper, then: 1) have a look at http://hcls.deri.org/atag/explorer/ (works in every browser except IE. This is just a rough prototype, it still does not link back to source / evidence etc.). 2) do a search for "Schizophrenia" 3) Further narrow down search results by entering additional search terms or selecting facet values on the left. I'm happy about feedback. I look forward to integrate this with other ongoing work in the HCLS IG. Together with Anja I will also look into making data from the LODD task available in the search interface above (a large part of SIDER has already been integrated, for example).
