Gilda grounding service

The Gilda service (v1.4.1) can be used to identify identifiers for entity names.

There are two usage modes: grounding (also called named entity normalization or linking) and annotation (also called named entity recognition).

  • In the Grounding mode, the input text is assumed to correspond to a single named entity.
  • In the Annotation mode, a longer span of text is used as input which may contain any number of named entities in it.

For programmatic access, see the API documentation and the user guide for more information.

Gilda annotation input

Enter text to annotate with named entities and corresponding identifiers. The results will highlight recognized entities and provide text position, grounding information and normalized name for each entity.

Optionally select one or more taxonomy species IDs to define a species priority list. Click here for more details.
