Enabling Fast Annotation Process With Table2Annotation Tool

Abstract

Semantic annotation is the process in which semantic concepts are linked to natural language. It helps in boosting the search and access of resources and can be used in information retrieval systems to increase the queries from the user. In this paper, we are interested in identifying ontological concepts in scientific text contained in spreadsheet. We developed a tool which is able to handle various types of spreadsheet. Furthermore, we used the benefits of NCBO Annotator API provided by BioPortal to enhance the semantic annotation functionalities covering spreadsheet data. Table2Annotation developed strengths in certain criteria like speed, error handling and complex concept matching. AvailabilityGitHub : https://github.com/pierrelarmande/ontology-project
