Getting Started

Enter your text and click Annotate to analyze. Terms from the National Agriculture Library Thesaurus (NALT) are extracted using a fuzzy matching algorithm and semantic rules.

Include non-NAL terms in result?

• Yes: A statistical, domain-agnostic Expert System Skill Cartridge is used to identify words and phrases that are not in NALT (but may be of importance). In the table view, these can be selected and sent to a recommendation database by clicking "Recommend Terms"


• No: Only NALT terms are extracted.
