• BOOTStrep - Bootstrapping Of Ontologies and Terminologies STrategic REsearch Project
  BOOTStrep is a Specific Targeted Research Project (STREP) of the European Union's 6th Framework Programme, Thematic Priority 2 (Information Society Technologies) within the fourth call of the programme. It addresses the strategic objective "Semantic-based Knowledge and Content Systems".
  

• MedCo
  This project is to annotate co-reference information on MedLine abstracts (GENIA portion). It's going to important resources for co-reference resolution on bio-literature domain for information extraction and text-mining purposes.
