Our Aims and Objectives
- Provision of full services and service exemplars for domains of interest to the UK academic community, leveraging the UK e-Science framework, grid technology, relevant standards and OMII-UK middleware. In the first phase NaCTeM concentrated on biology.
- Provide access to text mining tools and resources by
- Maintaining an inventory of best of breed software
- Linking to resources, e.g. annotated corpora, ontologies, terminologies, grammars
- Provide consultancy and advice
- Provide education and dissemination through online tutorials, white papers, updated news and events, seminars, training workshops, etc.
- Provide user oriented formative and summative adequacy evaluation of service provision, and developer oriented progress evaluation of text mining tool and service provision.
NaCTeM's tools and services offer benefits to a wide range of users eg. reduction in time and effort for finding and linking pertinent information from large scale textual resources and customised solutions in semantic data analysis You can find a fuller description of the aims and objectives of the Centre in our article in Ariadne Magazine.
