The JULIE Lab was the coordinator of BOOTStrep (Bootstrapping Of Ontologies and Terminologies STrategic REsearch Project), which was funded in the EC´s 6th Framework Programme. The project pulled together already existing biological fact databases as well as various terminological repositories and implemented a text analysis system which continuously increases their coverage by analysing biological documents. The project started on April 1, 2006 and ended on March 31, 2009. The overall budget was 3.6 million euro. Six partners from four European countries (Germany, U.K., Italy, France) and one Asian partner from Singapore were involved in the project.
The JULIE Lab played a central role in the StemNet project, which was funded with about 1.35 Mio Euros by the German Ministry for Research and Education -- BMBF). The project goal was to build a knowledge management system for the domain of hematopoietic stem cell biology by integrating comprehensive, but distributed and heterogenous web-based information. By means of text and data mining methods, publications, structured databases and web-based algorithms was to be searched automatically and the information extracted was to be integrated, processed and presented in such a way that the dispersed knowledge can be retrieved by the user in an integrated way.
Semantic Interoperability and Data Mining in BiomedicineSemantic Interoperability and Data Mining in Biomedicine (NoE 507505). Its goal was to establish Europe as the international scientific leader in medical and biomedical informatics. The long-term goal of the network will be the development of generic methods and tools supporting the critical tasks of the field; data mining, knowledge discovery, knowledge representation, abstraction and indexing of information, semantic-based information retrieval in a complex and high-dimensional information space, and knowledge-based adaptive systems for provision of decision support for dissemination of evidence-based medicine.

MorphosaurusMorphosaurus is a unique and powerful medical language tool that the Department of Medical Informatics in Freiburg, Germany, developed in cooperation with the JULIE Lab and the Health Technology Master Program of Parana Catholic University in Curitiba, Brasil. The project was mainly funded by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), grant KL 640/5-1 and 5-2.
