The Portable Information Access (PIA) project aims to develop a domain adaptable information extraction (IE) system for annotating semantic content in texts. IE systems basically aim to extract proto-typical facts from large collections of texts such as the activations between proteins in molecular biology or the merging and acquisitions of companies in business news. In contrast to other Web-based technologies such as information retrieval (IR) which are characterized by strong portability, no such system as yet exists for IE.
