While several biomedical relation extraction systems have been created and tested, little work has been done to meaningfully organize the extracted relations. Organizational processes should consolidate multiple references to the same objects over various levels of granularity, connect those references to other resources, and capture contextual information. We propose a feature decomposition approach to relation aggregation to support a five-level aggregation framework. Our BioAggregate tagger uses this approach to identify key features in extracted relation name strings. We show encouraging feature assignment accuracy and report substantial consolidation in a network of extracted relations.10aAccounting10aBIS1 aMarshall, Byron1 aSu, Hua1 aMcDonald, Daniel1 aEggers, Shauna1 aChen, Hsinchun uhttp://people.oregonstate.edu/~marshaby/Papers/Marshall_IEEE_TITB_2005.pdf
