Prof. K. Schulz, wissenschaftlicher Berater von TopicZoom, hat auf der internationalen Konferenz “Semantic  technologies in libraries: from text to structure – from words to meanings” in Olmütz (Tschechische Republik) am 5. Mai 2012 einen eingeladenen Vortrag über automatische Verschlagwortung von Texten gehalten und dort auch die TopicZoom Technologie vor interessierten Zuhörern aus zahlreichen europäischen Großbibliotheken in einer Live-Demo vorgestellt. Die Ergebnisse der Verschlagwortung stießen auf ein rundweg positives Echo.

Abstract:
We present a web service for automated extraction of metadata for electronic text documents in libraries and archives. Given any text in electronic form, this service automatically computes a set of topics that represent a thematic profile of input text. For texts containing geographic or temporal references, also relevant geographic regions and periods are extracted. Each topic comes with a specific weight measuring the relevance of the topic for the given document. Topics are derived from a very large taxonomy/ontology via fast linguistic analysis of input texts. We describe the taxonomy/ontology and the main principles for text analysis. The topic tags computed can be used for offering a thematic access to text collections, for linking texts with other data and knowledge resources, and for intelligent data mining and data analysis.
