What is the BLAH hackathon and symposium?
- Before the hackathon, literature annotation resources will be collected and "linked" to each other.
- During the hackathon, we will spend 4 days together to explore novel uses of the linked annotations.
- After the hackathon, the results will be presented and future directions will be discussed.
What is the goal?
- To establish an open infrastructure to integrate various efforts of literature annotation, from annotated corpora to tools for manual and automatic annotation.
- To collect various annotations and align them to up-to-date, original texts of PubMed and PMC articles.
- To seek innovative applications through utilizing the richness and variety of linked annotations.
