Literature Mining virtual Lab
Biodiversity literature and data constitute a vast public resource open to mining and knowledge extraction.
Associating organisms to key features of their life, for example the environment in which they live, the way feed, their breeding habits, is cornerstone in explaining biodiversity patterns and informing ecological decisions.
The Literature Mining virtual Lab (LM-vLab) aims at the automatic extraction of species - traits associations from the literature.
The Literature Mining vLab is a collection of: applications (EXTRACT annotation tool, ENVIRONMENTS and SPECIES/ORGANISMS taggers) and analysis datasets ("ENVIRONMENTS and EOL: identification of Environment Ontology terms in text and the annotation of the Encyclopedia of Life"
