digitalAGORA is the code name of a new technology that uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques to help users search for, summarize and organize textual information based on concepts and meanings as opposed to keywords. The work on the technology started in 1997 in North America by Dr. Walid S. Saba (with the on/off help of two other programmers), when a prototype was built (in Java). The prototype demonstrated that language processing and AI techniques can be used effectively to summarize textual documents based on key topics as opposed to key words. Currently, the prototype is being re-designed and re-implemented in C/C++ for large scale document search and summarization. The development is currently being done at the American University College of Technology, overlooking the Mediterranean shores of Byblos (Jbeil), one of the oldest cities in the world. We are aiming for a full online demonstration of this technology that promises to change the way people look for and organize textual content, by the end of the current year. This has been added to Deep Web Research and Data Mining Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blogs.
