[xtm-wg] Automatic Conceptual Indexing

[Bob Parks <bobp@lightlink.com>]

Greetings:

There seem to be three kinds of concepts that could be indexed using 
Topic Maps:
	(1) Discipline-specific concepts
	(2) Industry-specific concepts
	(3) general concepts that acquire a special function or 
purpose in the context of the text at hand.

My questions:
A. Does anyone know of software implementing topic maps that includes 
facilities for text analysis (parsing for noun phrase identification, 
for example) for automatic or semi-automatic conceptual indexing?

B. Is anyone planning a repository for public domain (shareable) topic maps?

C. Are there semantic network datasets that can be used for 
automatic/semi-automatic indexing of electronic texts?

Regards,
Bob Parks
