Automatic annotation of text is an important complement to manual annotation, because the latter is highly labor intensive. We have developed a fast dictionary-based named entity recognition system, which is used for both real-time and bulk processing of text in a variety of biomedical web resources. We propose to adapt the system to make it interoperable with the PubAnnotation and Open Annotation standards.

AbstractAutomatic annotation of text is an important complement to manual annotation, because the latter is highly labour intensive. We have developed a fast dictionary-based named entity recognition (NER) system and addressed a wide variety of biomedical problems by applied it to text from many different sources. We have used this tagger both in real-time tools to support curation efforts and in pipelines for populating databases through bulk processing of entire Medline, the open-access subset of PubMed Central, NIH grant abstracts, FDA drug labels, electronic health records, and the Encyclopedia of Life. Despite the simplicity of the approach, it typically achieves 80–90% precision and 70–80% recall. Many of the underlying dictionaries were built from open biomedical ontologies, which further facilitate integration of the text-mining results with evidence from other sources.
