title: Integrating natural language processing with FlyBase curation.
abstract: Applying Natural Language Processing techniques to biomedical text as a potential aid to curation has become the focus of intensive research. However, developing integrated systems which address the curators' real-world needs has been studied less rigorously. This paper addresses this question and presents generic tools developed to assist FlyBase curators. We discuss how they have been integrated into the curation workflow and present initial evidence about their effectiveness.
