sobek

[Jim Slotta]

I saw this "Sobek" project demoed today by some Brazilian visitors.  really cool - runs on client java (which they said burned them so bad the whole project almost never got off the ground) - but they are converting to html 5 (had to do a complete re-write).

I can think of some interesting possible applications.  Imagine any time you wanted a Word-l, because it showed SOMEthing interesting about the corpus of text material you were applying it to.  Well - now you could run a Sobek, and it generates a Word-L that is really a tag cloud, showing not only the frequency of most common words (ie, by their size), but also the interconnections.  And if you click on one, it shows a link to all the text chunks that contain it.
