The National Centre for Text Mining: Aims and Objectives by Sophia Ananiadou, Julia Chruszcz, John Keane, John McNaught and Paul Watry
http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue42/ananiadou/

Introduction
In this article we describe the role of the National Centre for Text Mining (NaCTeM). NaCTeM is operated by a consortium of three Universities: the University of Manchester which leads the consortium, the University of Liverpool and the University of Salford. The service activity is run by the National Centre for Dataset Services (MIMAS), based within Manchester Computing (MC). As part of previous and ongoing collaboration, NaCTeM involves, as self-funded partners, world-leading groups at San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC), the University of California at Berkeley (UCB), the University of Geneva and the University of Tokyo. NaCTeM’s initial focus is on bioscience and biomedical texts as there is an increasing need for bio-text mining and automated methods to search, access, extract, integrate and manage textual information from large-scale bio-resources. NaCTeM was established in Summer 2004 with funding from the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC), the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), with the consortium itself investing almost the same amount as it received in funding.
