The business of extracting knowledge from academic publications

I already gave you a real life example with the uniprot reference. Here is another flagship knowledge base that heavily leverages NLP extraction.[0] Here is another one that gets used in what seems like every network biology article.[1]

Meta analyses? Automating meta analyses is not a real need. They have their place, but it’s like a quaint cottage industry type thing - like custom haberdashery.

Also the most valuable knowledge is not in any publication. If you are reading about it in an article then you are already 2-3 years too late.

I search https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Ageneontology.org+nlp+... and don't see anything meaningful.

my opinion is that it has to be top level tool in modern science which could easily sort out lots of bs and contradictions in reported results.
