How to Use the Shadow Concepts Function
This section contains a short guide on how to use the Shadow Concepts function in PoolParty during corpus analysis.
The Shadow Concepts function and its results are part of the corpus analysis in PoolParty. You will have to prepare a few things before you can start using Shadow Concepts.
A corpus of documents you created for your project.
Open the Corpus Management.
Activate the node of the corpus you want to use as basis for calculation.
On the right find the Corpus Analysis Settings section.
Check the box beside Calculate Co-Occurrences.
Click Start Corpus Analysis.
Note
PoolParty starts calculating the Co-Occurrences in your corpus documents now. This means the terms that co-occur often in close proximity to your thesaurus's concepts found in the documents will be listed, the shadow concepts. Thus also these shadow concepts for documents, which do not contain thesaurus concepts as such, will be included in the display.
