Abstract
Semantic text annotations have been a key factor for supporting computer applications ranging from knowledge graph construction to biomedical question answering. In this systematic review, we provide an analysis of the data models that have been applied to semantic annotation projects for the scholarly publications available in the CORD-19 dataset, an open database of the full texts of scholarly publications about COVID-19. Based on Google Scholar and the screening of specific research venues, we retrieve seventeen publications on the topic mostly from the United States of America. Subsequently, we outline and explain the inline semantic annotation models currently applied on the full texts of biomedical scholarly publications. Then, we discuss the data models currently used with reference to semantic annotation projects on the CORD-19 dataset to provide interesting directions for the development of semantic annotation models and projects.
