======================================================== NLM2SVAL2 ======================================================== 1. Introduction --------------- This package contains 2 Perl programs which are useful in converting the Word Sense Disambiguation data from the National Library of Medicine test collection (Basic Reviewed Results from the PMID version only) to SENSEVAL2 format. nlm2sval2.pl is the core script which operates on one NLM data file at a time. nlm2sval2driver.pl is a wrapper script for nlm2sval2.pl which operates on the entire NLM test collection and converts it to SENSEVAL2 format. A new output directory containing the SENSEVAL2 files is created. The original files are not affected. 2. Installation --------------- Simply copy the extracted Perl programs to some directory in user path. If current directory (.) is in PATH, then you can directly use the scripts from the extracted location. 3. Usage -------- Refer to 'nlm2sval2.pl --help' and 'nlm2sval2driver.pl --help' for a list of options and their usage. Refer to 'perldoc nlm2sval2.pl' and 'perldoc nlm2sval2driver.pl' for details.
