i-SEGOPubmed: a web interface for semantic enabled browsing of PubMed using Gene Ontology

imately 20 million abstracts. Browsing such a huge repository to find relevant information as well as providing elearning service requires new generation of interfaces. Methods such as GOPubmed are using keyword-based techniques. Keyword-based search methods often yield results that are not meaningful to the query. This problem can be partially addressed using a semantic enabled interface for browsing and information retrieval. A web interface called i-SEGOPubmed is being developed in CVPIA lab at the University of Memphis. i-SEGOPubmed enables semantically meaningful browsing of large volume of semi-structured data such as Pubmed using Gene Ontology. i-SEGOPubmed employs a clientserver computing model. The SEGOPubmed engine [1] is used to process queries and web interface is using the Java Web Start, which uses Java Network Launching Protocol (JNLP) for downloading the application from the server to the client. Once the application is downloaded, Java Web Start initializes the applica...
