SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING A TAXONOMY FROM A PLURALITYOF DOCUMENTS

摘要

A system and method for generating a taxonomy (30) is provided in which the taxonomy is generated based on clusters of phrases and a topical library (52 ). The taxonomy permits a user of a text processing system to rapidly search through a database (18) and find relevant documents since the classification s in the taxonomy are narrow enough to limit the number of documents classifie d in each classification.
