- We differentiate three main steps for the successful identification of terms from literature: term recognition, term classification, and term mapping ... As term recognition does not further narrow down the specific meaning of a concept, it is often combined with term classification (or term categorization), which assigns terms to broad biomedical classes, such as genes, proteins or mRNAs. Categorized terms are useful for applications that work with specific term classes, such as systems that extract information on protein-protein interactions. Also, term classification is important for ontology management, where terms representing novel concepts are automatically mapped to specific parts of the ontology. While classification helps to establish some broad notion of the nature of a biomedical concept, it is not sufficient for establishing term identity.
