NIF 2.5 includes new services, incorporates new features to the search interface, and solves known issues/bugs. Through this informational session, find out more about NIF cards, NIFSTD entity recognition, new literature, and improvements on search. Learn more about the services such as the Ontology Access Service, SOLR Service, and the varying API interfaces. New features to look forward to are Concept-based search through autoexpansion, MyNIF capabilities to save searches, highlighted search results according to a semantic category in the NIF ontologies, and many more. Known issues regarding the scroll bar, browser compatibility, and search box behavior have been resolved and we have even improved on performance and stability of NIF Literature and Pubmed Results.
We look forward to seeing you there!
