Data Mining Open Access Research by Matthew Cockerill
http://www.biomedcentral.com/openaccess/archive/?page=features&issue=4

An excellent article on Data Mining Open Access Research by Matthew Cockerill, Technical Director, BioMed Central. This article spells out in nice detail the latest happenings in harvesting and data mining valuable information in Open Access Research. The Glossary of Data Mining as listed follows:

Data Mining
Using computers to extract information that is hidden within a large set of data. Data mining researchers who work with text use statistical, linguistic, and artificial intelligence techniques to go beyond simple text searching.

Semantic Web
The vision of Tim Berners-Lee for an improved version of the World Wide Web in which content is annotated in a machine readable way, to allow its meaning to be analysed by automated 'agents'.

XML
eXtensible Markup Language (XML) is a standard text format that allows information to be represented in a structured way, thereby facilitating automatic processing. Different dialects of XML (known as schemas) are used to describe different types of content (for example, CML describes chemical structures, MathML describes equations).

Ontology
In artificial intelligence research, an Ontology refers to a structured collection of concepts relevant to a particular domain of knowledge. For example, an Ontology might incorporate the concept of engrailed, which would be an instance of the concept gene. And like all genes, engrailed would be associated with a specific organism (Drosophila), and chromosome (2).

PreBIND
PreBIND is a data mining tool that helps researchers locate biomolecular protein-protein interaction information in the scientific literature.
