1. A tool providing interactive capabilities for user involvement in extracting and disambiguating biological information in text, said tool comprising:
- a text viewer into which at least a portion of a textual document is importable and viewable, said text viewer including a display on which said at least a portion of the text document is viewable;
means for text mining the at least a portion of a textual document having been imported into the text viewer to extract nouns and verbs therefrom;
a list-based text editor that lists nouns and verbs extracted by said means for text mining as entities and interactions;
means for assigning directionality to the listed interactions;
means for converting the extracted nouns and verbs into a local format representation as the entities and interactions; and
means for generating, displaying and interactively manipulating a biological diagram, based upon the entities and interactions represented in said local format.

Abstract
Systems, tools, methods and recordable media for text mining textual documents and extracting and associating entities and interactions mined with other data formats, such as diagrammatic displays and experimental data, using a local format. Additionally, information may be overlaid and compared with existing biological diagrams.

23. A tool for building biological networks of interactions from text, said tool comprising:
-
a text viewer into which at least a portion of a textual document is importable and viewable, said text viewer including a display on which said at least a portion of the text document is viewable; means for text mining the at least a portion of a textual document having been imported into the text viewer to extract nouns and verbs therefrom; a list-based text editor that lists nouns and verbs extracted by said means for text mining as entities and interactions; means for assigning directionality to the listed interactions; and means for selecting interactions and associated entities in the list-based editor, merging common entities and displaying a resulting biological network of the interactions in a window of said text view or in a separate network viewer; and means for interactively manipulating the biological network. - View Dependent Claims (24)

25. A tool for comparing extracted biological knowledge extracted from text, against an existing biological diagram, said tool comprising:
-
a text viewer into which at least a portion of a textual document is importable and viewable, said text viewer including a display on which said at least a portion of the text document is viewable; means for text mining the at least a portion of a textual document having been imported into the text viewer to extract nouns and verbs therefrom; a list-based text editor that lists nouns and verbs extracted by said means for text mining as entities and interactions; a diagram viewer and means for importing at least a portion of an existing biological diagram into said diagram viewer; means for overlaying the identified entities and interactions on said at least a portion of an existing biological diagram that is displayed in said diagram viewer; means for visually distinguishing the overlaid entities and interactions from a remainder of the displayed biological diagram; and means for interactively manipulating the biological diagram. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30)

31. A method of providing interactive capabilities for user involvement in extracting and disambiguating biological information in text, said method comprising the steps of:
-
importing at least a portion of a textual document into a text viewer, said text viewer including a display on which said at least a portion of the text document is viewable; text mining the at least a portion of a textual document to extract nouns and verbs therefrom and identify the nouns and verbs as biological entities and interactions; listing the identified entities and interactions in a list-based text editor; assigning directionality to the listed interactions by associating listed entities as affecters or affecteds with respect to the interactions; converting at least a portion of a biological diagram to local format objects representing entities and interactions displayed in the biological diagram; inputting at least a portion of said local format objects into a user context; and
,performing said text mining based upon the contents of the user context. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52)

53. A method of providing interactive capabilities for user involvement in extracting and disambiguating biological information in text to be used in generating a biological diagram, said method comprising the steps of:
-
importing at least a portion of a textual document into a text viewer, said text viewer including a display on which said at least a portion of the text document is viewable; text mining the at least a portion of a textual document to extract nouns and verbs therefrom and identify the extracted nouns and verbs as biological entities and interactions; listing the identified entities and interactions in a list-based text editor; representing the identified entities and interactions in a local format; providing a canvas area for diagrammatically representing entities and interactions having been identified by said text mining; populating a diagrammatic rendering on the canvas with one or more of said entities and interactions identified by said means for text mining, including indicating directionality of at least one interaction represented by the diagrammatic rendering;
wherein, upon populating the diagrammatic rendering, assignments of roles played by entities populating said diagrammatic rendering are automatically assigned in a list displayed by said list-based text editor; andfurther performing at least one of the steps selected from the group consisting of; generating a biological diagram based on said entities and interactions represented in said local format; displaying a biological diagram based on said entities and interactions represented in said local format; and interactively manipulating a biological diagram based on said entities and interactions represented in said local format. - View Dependent Claims (54)
