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?
