Semantic MEDLINE: the next PubMed?

Via Scoop.it – DUALimpact

The NLM works on a new interface for PubMed, including latest advances of semantic search (NLP and connected graphs). “Semantic MEDLINE is a prototype Web application that summarizes MEDLINE citations returned by a PubMed search. Natural language processing is used to analyze salient content in titles and abstracts. This information is then presented in a graph that has links to the MEDLINE text processed. Currently, the results from 35 PubMed searches (including a variety of disorders and drugs) are available to be processed. The 500 most recent citations (from the date of the search) are available for further processing by Semantic MEDLINE”. The prototype can be tested at: http://skr3.nlm.nih.gov/SemMedDemo/index.jsp See also this article: Rindflesch, T.C., Kilicoglu, H., Fiszman, M., Rosemblat, G., Shin, D.
