A socio-technical approach to trustworthy semantic biomedical content generation and sharing

The rapid growth of online biomedical content has presented a notable challenge in delivering timely and precise semantic annotations. Semantic annotations play a crucial role in contextually indexing data, thereby enhancing search accuracy. This intricate process involves the utilization of multiple coded ontologies, requiring extensive technical expertise and domain knowledge. While automated ontologies face limitations in balancing accuracy and speed, expert knowledge generation is also scarce and expensive. In response to these conflicting challenges, we propose a socio-technical content generation and sharing approach named 'Semantically,' which actively involves biomedical experts and scientists. Additionally, 'Semantically' leverages schema.org for incorporating additional semantic tags to enhance search engine performance. The outcome is high -quality, machine -understandable content that not only facilitates fast and accurate searches but also instills trust due to the collaborative nature of the annotation process. 'Semantically' generated biomedical content was evaluated in two scenarios: (1) search based solely on initiallevel annotations and (2) search incorporating additional expert -recommended annotations. 'Semantically' enhances the user search experience when compared to benchmark data. In the first scenario, the unigram to 5 -grams strategy efficiently recognizes biomedical terms, resulting in high precision, recall, F1, and accuracy scores, all around 0.9.
