ODIE stands for “Ontology Development and Information Extraction”. ODIE project aims to develop a toolkit that will provide the following functionality:
Build text processing pipelines that use ontologies to annotate documents.
Enrich ontologies with new concepts that are automatically discovered in documents.
Populate an information model automatically from information extracted from documents.

The Cancer Text Information Extraction System (caTIES) focuses on two important challenges of bioinformatics; namely, information extraction from free text and access to tissue.
