CONEXOR NAVITERM - FACTS FROM DOCS

Timo Lahtinen

NaviTerm is a tool that recognizes terms and proper names from texts automatically. In addition, proper names are classified to geographical names, the names of organisations, and the names of individuals.

The output of NaviTerm is up to the needs of users. It can be a list of terms and names, or a hyper text index with links to the source documents. It is also possible that terms and names are marked up into texts in their context by tags (e.g. SGML/HTML/XML).

The recognition of terms and names is based on automatic content analysis that includes syntactical parsing and detection of word distributions. The content analysis produces an estimation of what is important and what is less important in a given text. The importance is measured by weights.

At the moment, the supported languages are English, Finnish, Swedish, Spanish, French and German.
