BIOMAX INFORMATICS AG Releases the BioLT Literature Mining Tool version 2.0 for Optimized Text and Literature Mining
Biomax Informatics AG announces the release of BioLT(TM) Literature Mining Tool version 2.0, a flexible solution for intuitive and structured text mining. The BioLT tool combines manually curated biological and medical dictionaries with powerful free-text querying capabilities to optimize precision and recall in text mining. The BioLT tool is available as a customizable in-house solution or as a Web portal for mining biomedical literature abstracts at www.biomax.com .
The German national patenting authority (Deutsches Patent- und Markenamt, DPMA) is one of the first subscribers to BioLT version 2.0. They have licensed the BioLT Web portal to support time- and cost-efficient biomedical patent examination.
The BioLT tool can be used to extract domain-specific information within custom text-mining projects. The BioLT engine was used, for example, as the core data-mining component to develop an oncology knowledge base in which valuable, curated BioLT results fuel semantic networks within the BioXM(TM) Knowledge Management Framework. The BioXM platform allows text-mined information to be put into a larger context. For example, mined relationships between genes, diseases and compounds can be linked to clinical, phenotype, genotype and experimental data for comprehensive R&D project management.
