A Structured Digital Abstract (SDA) is a method of describing relationships between biological entities in a structured, but human-readable, format. It is added below the abstract of scientific articles published in FEBS Letters and FEBS Journal. Current SDAs describe protein-protein interactions. == History == Many scientific manuscripts describe relationships between entities such as genes and proteins. However, this information cannot be used efficiently because of the difficulties in retrieving it automatically from unstructured text.〔Calling International Rescue: knowledge lost in literature and data landslide!

Pettifer and David Thorne, ''Biochem J'' (2009) 424, 317–333〕〔Finally: The digital, democratic age of scientific abstracts, Giulio Superti-Furga, Felix Wieland and Giovanni Cesareni, ''FEBS Lett'' (2009) 582, 1169〕 In a six-month pilot project that started in January 2008, FEBS Letters began publishing manuscripts with “structured digital abstracts” (SDAs). The SDAs were added to the end of abstracts in a structured, but human-readable, format and digitally linked to interaction databases. In the pilot project, the journal concentrated on protein-protein interactions. After six months, this “experiment” was evaluated. As it was a success, all appropriate FEBS Letters manuscripts are now given an SDA. In 2009, FEBS Journal also started publishing manuscripts with SDAs. The SDA initiative continues to be funded by FEBS, a not-for-profit organisation. Recent BioCreative challenges have focused on protein-protein interaction extraction by automatic text mining, using FEBS Letters and FEBS Journal articles. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Structured digital abstract」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
