Strategic Partnership between NaCTeM and BRC

A new Strategic partnership between the National Centre for Text Mining (NaCTeM) and the Manchester Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) has been launched to help scientists faced with "information overload". For further details, see the news on the Central Manchester and Manchester Children's Hospitals NHS Trust website.

MERLIN

NaCTeM is working in association with the partners of the MERLIN (Metadata Enrichment for Repositories in a London Institutional Network) project (University College London, The University of London Computing Centre and The University of Nottingham). The project will demonstrate and evaluate the use of off-the-shelf text mining and thesaurus tools to derive descriptive subject classification from repository deposits, and will be using NaCTeM's TerMine term extraction tool.
