Ontoclick

Ontoclick annotates highlighted biomedical text with matching ontology terms to support biomedical knowledge curation.


Key Features:

  • Ontology annotation: Annotates highlighted text spans with relevant ontology terms from established biomedical ontologies.
  • Ontology term suggestion: Automatically suggests candidate ontology terms for highlighted text.
  • Curation automation: Automates parts of the manual knowledge curation process to reduce repetitive annotation tasks.
  • Biomedical ontology integration: Sources term suggestions from established biomedical ontologies.

Scientific Applications:

  • Knowledge curation: Facilitates extraction and annotation of biomedical information from literature for knowledge curation.
  • Annotation workflow acceleration: Reduces manual workload in ontology-based annotation of biomedical texts.

Methodology:

When text is highlighted, Ontoclick automatically suggests matching ontology terms from established biomedical ontologies.
