One major obstacle facing the research on semantic annotation is lack of large-scale testing datasets. In this paper, we develop a systematic approach to constructing such datasets. This approach is based on guided ontology auto-construction and annotation methods which use little priori domain knowledge and little user knowledge in documents. We demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed approach by developing a large-scale testing dataset using information available from MeSH and PubMed. The developed testing dataset consists of a large-scale ontology, a large-scale set of annotated documents, and the baselines to evaluate the target algorithm, which can be employed to evaluate both the ontology construction algorithms and semantic annotation algorithms.
