- QUOTE: BioLexicon is a large-scale English terminological resource which has been developed to address the needs emerging in text mining efforts in the biomedical domain. It contains information on:
- terminological nouns, including nominalised verbs and proper names (e.g., gene names)
- terminological adjectives.
- terminological adverbs.
- terminological verbs.
- general English words frequently used in the biology domain.
- Existing information on terms was integrated, augmented, complemented and linked, through processing of massive amounts of biomedical text, to yield inter alia over 2.2M lexical entries (over 3.3M semantic relations), and information on over 1.8M variants and on over 2M synonymy relations. Moreover, extensive information is provided on how verbs and nominalised verbs in the domain behave at both syntactic and semantic levels, supporting thus applications aiming at discovery of relations and events involving biological entities in text. It contains domain specific verbs (658), includes both automatically-extracted syntactic subcategorization frames (1710), as well as semantic event frames (850) that are based on corpus annotation by domain experts.

- QUOTE: … The BOOTStrep BioLexicon is a linguistic resource tailored for the domain to cope with these problems. It contains the following types of entries: (1) a set of terminological verbs; (2) a set of derived forms of the terminological verbs; (3) general English words frequently used in the biology domain; (4) domain terms. This comprehensive coverage of biological terms makes the lexicon a unique linguistic resource within the domain. This paper focuses on the linguistic aspects of the lexicon.
