Research Interests Comparator (RIC) is our fourth electronic text mining project. The goal of the RIC system is to dramatically improve the ability of biomedical researchers to find information that is relevant to their areas of study, and to provide them
TRITE is a pre-computed set of Medline similarity hits on topics of interest to medical researchers. TRITE uses the eTBLAST engine, operating on an edited set of topics selected from the Encyclopidia of Molecular Biology, Blackwell Science, Limited. The q
eTBLAST is a unique search engine for searching biomedical literature. Our service is very different from PubMed. While PubMed searches for "keywords", our search engine lets you input an entire paragraph and returns MEDLINE abstracts that are similar to
This database was constructed in a purely automated manner, using a set of heuristics to identify acronyms/abbreviations and their definitions within MEDLINE records. Currently, it is the world's largest and most comprehensive catalog of biomedical acrony
provides a common platform for discussing extensions of the MediaWiki software that allow for simple, machine-based processing of Wiki content. This usually requires some form of "semantic annotation," a single solution for semantic annotation that fits t
IAwiki is a collaborative knowledge base for the topic of InformationArchitecture. Anyone can contribute, and there are no pre-registration hoops to jump thru ... just click the "Edit This Page" link at the bottom of any page.
...our attempt at integrating terminologies between different disciplines, which look at the problem differently, so some of the terms have different meanings in different disciplines.

A metamodel is a precise definition of the constructs and rules needed for creating semantic models...an attempt at describing the world around us for a particular purpose.
"Whether you realize it or not, you're already familiar with controlled vocabularies. The Library of Congress subject headings and Yahoo's search criteria are a couple of examples. So, as you've probably guessed by now, controlled vocabularies are predete
In an attempt to summarize the relationship among various metadata formats and how they relate to building Internet systems I wrote a glossary. I then ordered and tied the terms together with a bit of narrative to explain the relationships among the terms
Semweb's core grammar is RDF, based on defining meaningful ontological statements as consisting of discrete “subjects,” “predicates,” and “objects,” and that each of those "parts of speech" can be given its own unique identity, designated with
