Patent Images
1. A method for textual exploration and discovery comprising:
- annotating, with a processor, Subject-Verb-Object Structures (SVOS) in a grammatically encoded electronic text; and
wherein said SVOS are used to identify semantic facets termed “
Agent”
, “
Process” and
“
Object”
, i.e. APOS, in a text span, and wherein said semantic facets “
Agent”
, “
Process” and
“
Object”
are provided as index entries in respective window panes on a display unit as contacts point to said electronic text.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and system for textual exploration and discovery. More specifically, the method and system provide a text-driven and grammar based tool for textual exploration and textual navigation. The facilities for textual exploration and textual navigation are based on a system of index entries that are connected to the underlying text segments from which the index entries are derived. Text units with particular grammatical, semantic, and/or pragmatic features constitute bundles of sentences or text zones.
