1. A computer-assisted method for discovering information in a text content and extracting and presenting the information, comprising:
- obtaining, by a computer system, a text content comprising one or more words or phrases or sentences, each being a term or an instance of a term;
selecting a first semantic attribute and a second semantic attribute for users to select from, wherein the first semantic attribute or the second semantic attribute includes an attribute type or attribute value;
wherein the first semantic attribute is associated with a first name or description, and the second semantic attribute is associated with a second name or description;
identifying a words or phrases in the text content associated with the first semantic attribute or the second semantic attribute;
displaying an actionable user interface object, wherein the actionable user interface object is associated with a label representing the first name or description or the second name or description;
allowing the user to select the first name or description or the second name or description as a user-specified or user-desired attribute; and
performing, by the computer system, an action on the word or phrase associated with the user-specified or user-desired semantic attribute, wherein the action includes at least extracting, displaying, storing, showing or hiding, or highlighting or un-highlighting the word or phrase.

14. A system for discovering information in a text content and presenting the information, comprising:
-
a computer processor configured to obtain a text content comprising one or more words or phrases; display the name or description of a first semantic attribute and a second semantic attribute for users to select from in one or more selectable user interface objects, wherein the first semantic attribute or the second semantic attribute includes an attribute type or attribute value, display an actionable user interface object, wherein the actionable user interface object is associated with a label representing the name or description of the first semantic attribute or the name or description of the second semantic attribute; allow a user to select the name or description of the first semantic attribute or the name or description of the second semantic attribute as a user-specified or user-desired attribute, identify, in the text content, a word or a phrase associated with the user-specified or user-desired attribute, and perform an action on the word or phrase, wherein the action includes at least extracting, displaying, storing, showing or hiding, or highlighting or un-highlighting the word or phrase. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)

18. A system for displaying terms extracted from a text content in a view format, comprising:
-
a computer processor configured to obtain a data file containing words or phrases extracted from a text content; display one or more selectable user interface objects configured to accept user selection for displaying the extracted words or phrases in one of a plurality of view formats; and display the extracted words or phrases in the user-selected view format, wherein the text content comprises two or more words or phrases or sentences or paragraphs, wherein the method of extracting the words or phrases comprise the steps of; (a) selecting a semantic attribute or a term importance threshold, wherein the semantic attribute includes an attribute type or value, (b) identifying the words or phrases in the text content associated with the semantic attribute, or calculating a term importance measure for the words or phrases in representing information in the text content, (c) extracting the words or phrases associated with the semantic attribute or with a term importance measure above the term importance threshold, (d) organizing the extracted words or phrases into one or more view formats, wherein the view formats include at least a tree or hierarchical format, a list format with a list comprising the extracted words or phrases, or a cloud format with a multi-dimensional arrangement comprising the extracted words or phrases, and (e) storing the extracted words or phrase in the data file. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
