- Type of session

- Length of session
- 45 minutes/1 hour depending.
- Ideal number of attendees
- Workshop for 10.
- Abstract
ContentMine searches the scientific literature using custom lists of search terms, called "dictionaries". These can be used singly, or in powerful combinations, e.g. searching for a group of drugs and a group of diseases. A tool currently hosted at https://tarrow.github.io/aaraa/index.html allows these dictionaries to be generated by anyone, from a SPARQL query. This route therefore permits anyone to conduct detailed research on recent scientific papers, using the full scope of Wikidata, particularly its lists of aliases.
- What will attendees take away from this session?
- Understanding of the scope of ContentMine fact mining and search tools.
- If a workshop is run, hands-on experience and technical support.
