Overview
IN-SPIRE enables you to review and analyze thousands of documents simultaneously
by presenting them in an interactive, visually oriented framework. Since
it requires almost no advanced knowledge of the information that is being
processed, IN-SPIRE is a great tool for getting your arms around information
hidden in a large number of documents and determining the "lay-of-the-land"
from a topical perspective. Once the "picture" is established for you
information space, IN-SPIRE provides a number of query and display tools
to support deeper analysis and interrogation of the information space.
With IN-SPIRE, you will be able to:
- Understand the relationships among documents and discover unexpected
associations by using the Galaxy and ThemeView.
- View any individual document, using the Document
Viewer.
- Rapidly identify most frequently used terms in the documents using
Gist and Probe.
- Collect documents into meaningful groups, which can be compared and
annotated, using the Groups tool.
- Examine the list of major terms used for clustering, the Major
Terms list.
- Query the data set of documents with word search or by thematic content,
using Queries.
- Step through time-stamped documents by months, days or other time
increment, using the Time Slicer.
- Configure display settings for your analysis session, using the Settings
window.
