This project expands the capabilities of the SWISH-E search engine to include theme extraction or categorisation. This combines the best features of handcrafted catalogues with the benefits of a search engine. Users do not have to build and maintain complex knowledge bases of their own in order to establish relationships between topics, nor do they have to formulate complex queries to find information that may be worded differently in the documents being searched.
Neat. Feed it some docs, it analyzes them and builds a theme list. Docs are linked together by the themes. Sounds interesting.
