Abstract:

Key assertions are extracted from “conclusions” sections of PubMed abstracts and
converted into Semantic Web / Linked Data format. The results are made accessible via
files, a SPARQL endpoint, and a faceted search interface. Conclusion sections are
identified as valuable resources for machine-augmented key assertion identification and
integration in the biomedical domain. Results are discussed and opportunities for future
work and cooperation are highlighted.

I’ve been doing that for almost twenty years and you can do the studies in your head.
Cuts down on the extensive reading one might otherwise have to do.
