Natural Language Data

Natural Language Data is data that is in a free-text format. For LINCS, this looks like a document of full sentences written in modern English, ideally following common grammatical rules. Natural language data includes documents that are fully plain text—like a written biography saved as a TXT file—or any document of a different format where there is plain text embedded within.
