What sorts of text mining software do y'all support / use in your libraries?
We here in the Hesburgh Libraries at the University of Notre Dame have all but opened a place called the Center For Digital Scholarship. We are / will be providing a number of different services to a number of different audiences. These services include but are not necessarily limited exactly to:
* data management consultation
* data analysis and visualization
* geographic information systems support
* text mining investigations
* referrals to other "centers" across campus
I am expected to support the text mining investigations. I have traditionally used open source tools do to my work. Many of these tools require some sort of programming in order to exploit. To some degree I am expected mount text mining software on our local Windows and Macintosh computers here in our Center. I am familiar with the lists of tools available at Bamboo as well as Hermeneuti.ca. [0, 1] TAPoRware is good too, but a bit long in the tooth. [2]
Do you know of other sets of tools to choose from? Are you familiar with SASŪ Text Analytics, STATISTICA Data Miner, or RapidMiner? [3, 4, 5]
