   Actually, it was clear what you do, it's pretty similar to the example   
   Janice gave: extract the non-trivial keywords, and form a database with   
   references to the original text so that a human can interpret the keywords   
   in context.   
      
   All well and good, very worthy (if neither interesting nor original), but   
   not anything like semantic comprehension of anecdotal evidence by   
   computer; which was my point.
