This glossary is for developers. A computer-science degree isn't required, but it will help.
term | meaning |
---|---|
document | A bunch of text (characters that can be represented in XML 1.0 and XML 1.1). Every document has metadata, both for its intrinsic value and to help Overview display it. |
document set | A collection of documents that the user chooses to analyze together. Equivalent to a "project" in other programs. Each document set is mostly self-contained: documents, tags, searches, trees and vizs cannot span multiple document sets. |
file | Binary data a user uploads. A file may be used by many documents in many document sets. |
tag | A small text string, selected by the user, that applies to a group of documents (selected by the user). |
search | A small text string, selected by the user, that finds a group of documents (selected by their text). |
tree | A hierarchical clustering of documents in a document set. |
node | One entry in the tree. The root node is the top of the tree. Each node holds a set of documents, and most nodes have child nodes. All of the documents in the child nodes are, collectively, the documents in the parent node. |
viz | A way of grouping and displaying documents for the user. It's an abstract idea; the tree is a concrete implementation. |
