On this page, subscribers can fine-tune support objects to control Research Agents maintaining virtual libraries of PubMed abstracts and related resources.

This preview release introduces basic support objects which
Agents need.  With a little guidance and practice, users should be able to define or enhance instances of the first two types in just seconds:

1) IMPORTERS of recent news published in your interest area

Cast as recurring queries to PubMed or other data sources, they help Agents notice new resources to analyze and index.  Most run overnight, seeking new information added the prior day

2) MONITORS of specific conceptual topics in each interest area

Advanced queries citing various patterns of concepts can highlight abstracts that refer to them and filter out weaker matches.  They classify news by topic, so search and ALERT results can be more easily navigated.

3) CONSTRAINTS guide rules about reacting to news items

Cast into if-then filters, these further boost ALERT precision with logical and linguistic tests.  Results that pass go to web services, data bases, work flow engines and/or humans for final processing

Lexikos seeks sponsors for digital Research Agents built by professional users expert in specific realms of PubMed's technical abstract space.  A sponsor can also index other resources that relate, such as clinical trial protocols, ontologies, EHR data, Standards of Care, etc.

To learn more about how
ALERTS can help virtual groups of users track, expand and navigate these powerful and perceptive search spaces, both public or private, please email me to schedule a phone demo and a chat answering your questions.
