The BioLT™ Literature Mining Tool is a customizable tool for intuitive and structured text mining. BioLT version 2.0 combines biological and medical term dictionaries with powerful free-text querying capabilities. The tool provides comprehensive and structured answers to complex questions. Search results can be used for iterative refinement and extension of queries.
BioLT results can be made part of larger semantic networks within the BioXM Knowledge Management Environment. Text-mining information, such as relationships between genes, diseases and compounds can be graphically displayed, curated and linked. For example, Biomax provides the Oncology Knowledge Base data in the BioXM system.
