A tool for the automatic and manual annotation of biomedical documents

Abstract

The techniques developed within the field of Biomedical Text Mining (BioTM) have been mainly tested and evaluated over a set of known corpora built by a few researchers with a specific goal or to support scientific competitions. The generalized use of BioTM software therefore requires that an enlarged set of corpora is made available covering a wider range of biomedical research topics. This work proposes a software tool that facilitates the task of building a BioTM corpus by providing a userfriendly and interoperable tool that allows both automatic and manual annotation of biomedical documents (supporting both abstracts and full text). This tool is also integrated in a more comprehensive BioTM framework.Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT
