The two
earlier posts
in this series showed screenshots of results of Oscar, but the title also promised results by Lezan’s
ChemicalTagger. Sam
helped with getting the HTML pages online via the Cambridge Hudson installation. Where
Oscar find named entities (chemical compounds, processes, etc), ChemicalTagger finds
roles, like solvent, acid, base, catalyst. Roles are properties of chemical compounds
in certain situations. Ethanol is not always a solvent, sometimes it is a Xmas present.
The current output is not entirely where I want to go yet, but makes it easy which
solvents are frequently found in the BJOC corpus:
This screenshot of an analysis of 15 BJOC papers shows that AcOEt (is that the
same as EtOAc?)
is mentioned as solvent three times in PMC1399459.
Brine, however, is mentioned as solvent in three papers.
As said, these two
pages contain
RDF and the tables are sortable. Hudson recompiles them automatically when I update the
source code to create the HTML+RDFa. So, go ahead, send me bug reports, feature requests,
and patches!
