These terms are identified as annotations by text mining algorithms, developed by a variety of text mining groups.</p> <p>The main challenge for the SciLite tool is locating plain text annotations in HTML pages. The challenges derive from the nature of HTML pages. Below is a list of the major challenges we faced and the solutions adopted to mitigate them.</p> <ol> <li><strong>The pages contain HTML tags, obviously.</strong> For example, <a href="https://europepmc.org/articles/PMC1215513">visit this article</a>, and click on the “Gene Function” checkbox, on the right-hand side of the page, to see the sentence highlighted. <br /><br /> <a href="/techblog/images/posts/locating-text-html-pages/fuzzy_match_PMC1215513.png"><img src="/techblog/images/posts/locating-text-html-pages/fuzzy_match_PMC1215513.png" alt="Annotation containing HTML tags" /></a> <em><strong>Figure 1</strong>: Annotation containing HTML tags</em><br /><br /></li> </ol> <div class="excerpt-bottom"> <p class="continue"><a href="/techblog/algorithm/2018/07/04/locating-text-html-pages.html">Continue reading &rsaquo;</a></p> <p class="metadata">Author: <a href="https://github.com/ftalo" target ="_blank">Francesco Talo'</a></p> </div> </section> <footer class="site-footer"> <span class="site-footer-owner"><a href="https://github.com/EuropePMC/techblog">techblog</a> is maintained by <a href="https://github.com/EuropePMC">EuropePMC</a>.</span> <span class="site-footer-credits">This page was generated by <a href="https://pages.github.com">GitHub Pages</a>.</span> </footer> </section> <script type="text/javascript"> (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){ (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o), m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m) })(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga'); ga('create', 'UA-114538088-1', 'auto'); ga('send', 'pageview'); </script> </body> </html>
