ANNOUNCE: SemanText 0.72 released

[Eric Freese]

The 0.72 release of SemanText has just been posted at www.semantext.com.
Among the new features are:

* Context-based harvesting - This allows topics and associations to be
automatically constructed from XML documents by identifying specific
information to be harvested.

* Full topic map maintenance capability - Topics, associations, occurrences,
and facets can be added, modified and deleted via the SemanText interface.

* Choice of look-and-feel - A classic web browser style of interface or a
push-button style of interface.

* Choice of view - Users can select whether to look at the information from
a topic map point of view (only the information contained in the topic map)
or a knowledge base point of view (information based on interpretting the
topic map or generated by the inference rules).</li>

* XTM export - Topic maps can be exported in accordance with the new XTM
specification.

About SemanText

SemanText is a prototype application developed, using Python, to demonstrate
how the topic map standard (ISO/IEC 13250:2000) and XML Topic Maps (XTM) can
be used to represent the knowledge contained within documents by building
semantic networks. Semantic networks are a building block for artificial
intelligence applications such as inference engines and expert systems.
