Ulrich Thiel, Rainer Hammwöhner · University of Regensburg Publication Server (University of Regensburg) · 1987
The full-text oriented information system TOPIC/TOPOGRAPHIC which is based on the textual knowledge of articles of technical journals dealing with micro computers and office automation. The analysis of the articles is performed automatically by a knowledge based parsing mechanism and results in so-called text-condensates (representations of topical structures and facts of the t ext). The textual information extracted this way is stored in a text knowledge base offering several options for information retrieval ( conceptual overview, fact retrieval etc.)- The user interface TOPOGRAPHIC employs graphical interaction to offer retrieval facilities.
