Query words

Type in the query words in a column. When certain words designate something what you mean only when being used together (e.g. "US" and "economy"), put them in one line separated by spaces.
One can put up to 5 words into a line. There can be up to 30 lines.
The required number of query lines depends on the processing mode (usually not less than 3).
Important: the system considers the order of lines as corresponding to their relative value in user's query.
It is also possible to reflect your theme by a query more perfectly. For instructions use Help option in the pop-up menu or the Query syntax below.
After starting the program, this window will display new queries, automatically created by the system in addition to your initial query.

Query syntax:

 Each query line can be preceded by indication of its presence being obligatory:
# - obligatory in every paragraph selected
% - obligatory for the starting group of paragraphs
+ - obligatory present in the first paragraph selected

Query words which you consider having the same meaning should be separated with "&".
Words which are to be found together and in the same order should be separated with "_".
 

Project Manager

Project's Manager lets to easily change between existing projects and corresponding queries, so as to create the new ones, rename or delete queries.
Thematic project uses a separate textual database, to which an unlimited number of queries can be addressed. Under each query name you save query lines, processing mode, language of data processing and results.
After each start of the program the Default project is created, accompanied with a query Untitled.
 

Search mode

Tuning of the system. Shifting to the right will make the system follow the more strict requirements for including and arranging of the information items in the output material. This increases the degree of relevancy but results in less amount of the output information. Shifting to the left will weaken requirements for data processing. This is worth choosing when the database contains little information relevant to your query.
 

Auto

Automatic decrease of requirements for data processing. Use it when expecting that data processing will take too long time. In this mode the system will test the database content: if there is insufficient information relevant to the query, the program will gradually decrease the requirements for selecting and arranging of the information items.
 

Time

Indicate the suitable data processing time. (Note, that this is a time only for working with your query, and it doesn't count the time needed for certain data preprocessing in case when database is analyzed for the first time).
 

Profile

A set of data data processing parameters, optimized for individual needs; can be selected here when available.
 

Language

Language of data processing. Selection automatically activates corresponding linguistic facilities, including the Stop words list and parsing.
 

Edit context

This is a nonobligatory used list of  words (terms) occurring at high frequencies within a given thematic field. You can use it in order to augment relevancy and informativeness of the output material. Type in the terms in a column.
 

Use context

Indicate, whether to use context in current data processing.
 

Include in query

Indicate, whether the context terms should be included into newly created queries. Presence of common terms in queries generally results in increasing amount of the output material accompanied by decrease of its informativeness.
 

Project's Database

Choose a directory containing data files to be processed.
By default it is a $DATBASE in the directory of a current project.
 

Vocabularies

Stop:
List of commonly used, auxiliary and syntactic words of a given language, which the system should not consider as meaningful.
Thematic:
List of domain-specific concepts (thesaurus), which can be used for indexing of the processed texts, eliminating the necessity for the stop words list. This option is not available in current version.
 

Edit basic vocabulary

An editable list of stop words which are ignored when working with every project.
 

Edit current project's vocabulary

An editable list of stop words which are ignored when working with current project.
 

Thematic vocabulary

List of domain-specific concepts (thesaurus), which can be used for indexing of the processed texts, eliminating the necessity for the stop words list. This option is not available in current version.
 

Internet search

Start a data retrieval module, which automatically addresses the Internet search engines.
Not available in current version of the program.
 

Start

Start the data processing. Be sure to press this button after all other options are properly selected.
 

Pause / Continue

Pause the data processing. This lets to edit the current query, created by the system and displayed in the Query window. In order to resume processing press this button repeatedly (as it changes its look to Continue).
 

Stop process

Finish the data processing.
Clear the results file before processing a new query.
 

Show full result

Opening of the external browser for viewing the results.
 

Contents

List of created thematic clusters. Select any in the List to view the corresponding query in the Query window. Simultaneously, a Key Words window will display words which helped to select material in this cluster, and in the Suggested words frame will be shown additionally revealed words characteristic for this content.
 

Message window

Processing messaging window. Here are listed in particular:
 - the names of screened files;
 - error messages.
 

Program status window

In course of the working process here will be displayed:
 - message "Step", followed by the numbers indicating accordingly: the number of the query being processed, total amount of processing time (the database preprocessing period not counted), remaining processing time (regarding the time limit preset by the user);
 - message "Read", followed by the numbers indicating accordingly:total amount of analyzed files and the number of screened paragraphs.
 - message "Found", followed by the numbers indicating accordingly: total amount of selected paragraphs (included in the output material), number of  words, suggested for including into new query.
