Interannual Change of Bioinformatics Analysis Techniques by Workflow Extraction from Biological Papers

Abstract

We investigate how to collect and reuse workflows (= knowledge of analysis techniques) in order to develop a semantic web service system for bioinformatics. We have developed a semi-automatic workflow extraction method from biological papers. Our goal is to develop a service to provide workflows for biologists' analysis purposes. In this paper we report interannual changes of bioinformatics analysis techniques, which are found by analyzing collected workflows.
