Description: In semantic annotation, semantic concepts are linked to natural language. Semantic anno-tation helps in boosting the ability to search and access resources and can be used in in-formation retrieval systems to augment the queries from the user. In the research described in  this  paper,  we  aimed  to  identify  ontological  concepts  in  scientific  text  contained  in  spreadsheets. We developed a tool that can handle various types of spreadsheets. Further-more,  we  used  the  NCBO  Annotator  API  provided  by  BioPortal  to  enhance  the  semantic  annotation functionality to cover spreadsheet data. Table2Annotation has strengths in cer-tain criteria such as speed, error handling, and complex concept matching. Keywords: bioinformatics, ontologies, semantic annotation
