Author Information
Author(s): Yamamoto Yasunori, Takagi Toshihisa
Primary Institution: Department of Computational Biology, University of Tokyo
Hypothesis
It would be useful to link the web page of an online resource to its corresponding publication information and build a search system.
Conclusion
OReFiL is a search system for online life science resources that links related web pages to MEDLINE entries and provides a flexible search function.
Supporting Evidence
- OReFiL provides a flexible search using a language- and Boolean-based model.
- The system links online resources to their corresponding MEDLINE entries for credibility verification.
- OReFiL is freely available and requires minimal user effort to maintain.
Takeaway
OReFiL helps researchers find online resources in life sciences by linking them to related research papers, making it easier to verify their credibility.
Methodology
The system was developed using a crawler to gather URLs from MEDLINE abstracts and full-text papers, which were then indexed for easy retrieval.
Limitations
OReFiL does not currently consider the context in which a URL appears, which may affect the credibility of the resources found.
