EAGER: Enabling collaboration in the creation of scientific databases from the published literature

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。拟议研究的目的是探索网络基础设施，这将使和促进大规模的合作，在建设，维护和使用（走向发现）科学知识库，这些知识库是基于出版的文献。虽然重点将放在生物学领域和文章和摘要可通过PubMed，项目将开发基础设施，可以适应其他科学领域，如考古学，材料科学和生态学。项目将开发一个基于网络的平台，自动命名实体识别，自动命名实体识别，和自动关系提取仅用作引导步骤，而自愿协作用于进行校正、将缺失的事实添加到数据库以及维护数据库。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).The aim of the proposed research is to explore cyber-infrastructure that will enable and promote large scale collaboration in building, maintaining, and using (towards discovery) scientific knowledge bases that are grounded in published literature. Although the focus will be on the Biology domain and articles and abstracts available through PubMed, project will develop infrastructure that can be adapted to other scientific domains such as archaeology, material science and ecology.Project will develop a web-based platform where automated named entity recognition, automated named entity identification, and automated relationextraction are used only as boot-strap steps and voluntary collaboration is used for making corrections, adding missing facts to the database and in maintaining the database.
