Evaluation of taxonomic information contained in generated definitions for 500 GO and 500 MeSH terms

500 GO (%)
500 MeSH (%)
Parent Ancestor Parent Ancestor
Contained in top 1 12.2 32.4 20.2 37.0
Contained in top 10 13.4 38.0 26.0 54.4

For 26% of the 500 randomly selected MeSH terms the parent and for 54% some ancestor could be found in the top 10 generated definitions.
