Combining syntactic and ontological knowledge to extract biologically relevant relations from scientific papers

Bringing biologists and text miners closer together is a major aim towards the general usage of literature mining tools. Our contribution to this aim is an end-user tool for the extraction of problem-specific biologically relevant relations. Development efforts are being focused on easy-to-use text mining workflows including commonly available entity recognisers and syntactic processors, and the construction of a userfriendly environment that enables problemspecific tailoring by biologists.
