[Alexandre Fayolle]

This has just arrived from comp.lang.python.announce:

---------------------------8<---------------------------
The 0.72 release of SemanText has just been posted at
http://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.
