Structuring data and documents: Metadata management of Names & Concepts by Lists, Vocabulary, Thesaurus and Ontologies and Named Entity Recognition
Structure data, filters, navigation and aggregated overviews by Lists, Dictionaries, Vocabularies, Taxonomies, Mindmaps, Thesaurus (SKOS) and Graphs (Ontologies) for filtering, clustering and aggregating your documents
You can structure, cluster and filter your data by different methods and structured data like lists of names or concepts (named entities) or ontologies based on named entities:
Named Entities are for example of people of interests, organizations like companies, places like town names or important concepts or words. You can manage Named Entities (Names, Concepts, Persons, Places, Locations) name by name in the Thesaurus.
Named entities recognition adds some unknown entities by machine learning.
Multiple such named entities can be stored and organized in Dictionaries, Vocabularies, Databases, Lists or Ontologies
So you can import external data sources with many named entities by the Lists, Vocabularies & Ontologies manager.
Based on such named entities or categories you can structure your documents with such names by the following methods:
Categories, groups or lists (Classification / tagging / categorizing / classifying by being on a list or ontology, Tagging by rules and queries or clustering by machine learning)
Hierarchies, Trees or Mindmaps (Taxonomies)
Network or graph of concepts / words (Connected words and concepts in Thesaurus) Open standard format: Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS)
Example data: Custom domain thesaurus or linked open data from Wiktionary
Other domain specific or private Ontologies Open standard format: RDFS or OWL
Tagging by machine learning (Automatic classification or clustering)
Links (Connections) or Networks
