Create a Document Corpus

Abstract

Create a Document Corpus

This section contains a short guide on how to create a document corpus in PoolParty.

Creating a document corpus is crucial if you want to enrich your thesaurus with terms from relevant documents.

You can choose to create a document corpus based on documents (PDF, DOC, Powerpoint, TXT, etc.) that are related to your project's domain or harvest RSS feeds, web sites and DBpedia resources linked to the concepts in your thesaurus. Supported file types are those supported by the Apache Tika library.

Prerequisites

  • An opened PoolParty project with an existing thesaurus.
