  1. fBioInfer has ~34,000 tokens total, and ~30,000 excluding punctuation.
  2. gBioInfer has ~6,300 named-entity annotations and ~2,700 annotations of what are termed relationships but that might more properly be conceptualized as process or state classes and thus are included here, totaling ~9,000 concept annotations.
  3. hIn the CALBC corpus, NCBI Taxonomy and UMLS concepts were respectively used to mark up species and disease mentions.
  4. 1The CLEF Corpus is composed of many types of medical documents: 2 entire patient records (themselves composed of 9 narratives, 1 imaging report, 7 histopathology reports, and associated data) and 50 each of clinical narratives, histopathology reports, and imaging reports.
  5. jThe annotators of the ITI TXM Corpora attempted to assign Entrez Gene IDs to gene annotations and RefSeq IDs to annotations of proteins, mRNAs, and cDNAs (although it is admitted that this assignment was very time-consuming and thus was not performed on the training subset of the PPI Corpus).
  6. kThe annotators of the ITI TXM Corpora used ChEBI, MeSH, and NCBI Taxonomy concepts for drug, tissue, and sequence mentions.
  7. lIn OntoNotes, the 700 most frequent polysemous verbs and 1,100 most frequent polysemous nouns have been annotated with the appropriate senses of WordNet 2.0, so the size of the schema (i.e., the total number of senses of these 1,800 words) likely numbers in the thousands; however, they note that this is different from their ontological annotation, for which only approximately 50 concept types are being used to subsume the annotated word senses.
  8. mIn addition to ~58,000 annotated verbs, OntoNotes has an unstated but presumably large count of annotated nouns.
  9. A summary of counts of words/tokens, of counts and types of component documents, of domains, and of counts of concept annotations for the CRAFT Corpus and related corpora.
