Sentence Saver for Category Seed

Basic Functionality

• The sentence saver for seeding categories was intended to be used as a starting point for seeding new categories that could then be tested in Textpresso searches.
• The input is a list of paper IDs for known positive papers for a given data type.
• The initial output is a list of words sorted according to their frequency and distribution in a subset of sentences within the input papers.
• The final output is one or more categories of words that can be uploaded to a Textpresso implementation for testing.

Use

• The sentence saver is used when curators already know papers from which they want to save sentences.
• For example, creating new categories for curation of GO Molecular Function terms related to enzymatic activity by selecting sentences from papers already curated.
• Alternatively, saving sentences from papers initially being read for another purpose, such as concise descriptions or reference genome curation.

Key Features

• Users need to be able to continually add sentences to an existing file, as it is quite likely that all sentences will not be selected in one sitting.

• Users need to be able to see the sentence file prior to uploading a list of papers. This will help to keep track of the list of papers from which sentences have been selected.

• User will need to be able to edit the sentences file, if needed, deleting individual sentences or whole papers, if necessary.
