Abstract

The body of the healthcare sector is today supported by a nervous system of advanced technology infrastructure that has become vital to its efficient operation. The sharing of information between hospitals, clinics, surgeries and administrative units has become a key part of the everyday activities of the sector, streamlining processes and giving healthcare professionals access to stored knowledge that would otherwise be unavailable. Supporting this 'nervous system' are the companies that supply and maintain the networks and technology on which the sector now relies.

Information extraction in molecular biology.

Information extraction has become a very active field in bioinformatics recently and a number of interesting papers have been published. Most of the efforts have been concentrated on a few specific problems, such as the detection of protein-protein interactions and the analysis of DNA expression arrays, although it is obvious that there are many other interesting areas of potential application (document retrieval, protein functional description, and detection of disease-related genes to name a few). Paradoxically, these exciting developments have not yet crystallised into general agreement on a set of standard evaluation criteria, such as the ones developed in fields such as protein structure prediction, which makes it very difficult to compare performance across these different systems. In this review we introduce the general field of information extraction, we outline the status of the applications in molecular biology, and we then discuss some ideas about possible standards for evaluation that are needed for the future development of the field.
