Abstract:

Today it is possible to store and retrieve official and personal data; everyone can store photographs, movies and notes in electronic settings. The amount of such data increases everyday (some call it “information boom”). Many search engines can scan electronic data based on key terms (or based on content); some sales companies also use such data to offer “best” sales. Some computer programs provide their clients with textual data collected from Internet sources. Such programs are mostly used by sales companies. Today emails, notes on facebook and twitter as well as blogs are checked for security purposes. In science information-based search engines such as GoPubMed are employed. In short, computer-assisted text analysis has been used in different fields and various techniques make it possible to analyse data.
