We present an outline of the genome information acquisition (GENIA) project for automatically extracting biochemical information from journal papers and abstracts. GENIA will be available over the Internet and is designed to aid in information extraction, retrieval and visualisation and to help reduce information overload on researchers. The vast repository of papers available online in databases such as MEDLINE is a natural environment in which to develop language engineering methods and tools and is an opportunity to show how language engineering can play a key role on the Internet.
