2. Clinical trial publications
• Around 800 000 clinical trials in PubMed
• Difficult to digest/search
• Text mining approaches
• But tables and figures are
often not processed

• Present factual information
• Usually:
• Experimental settings (i.e. demographics)

• Build/Expand knowledge bases
• Relate to existing knowledge on the semantic web
18. Summary
• Tables contain valuable information such as settings or
results
• System for extraction and curation of table data
• Decomposition and annotation of the tables
• Accuracy of 85%
