![]() But then I’ve destroyed the data - it’s no longer flexible, and I can’t suddenly decide I only want to see in my new auto-generated document keyworded extracts which come from documents tagged ‘religion’ and ‘science’. Of course, I could achieve the above outside DT by putting everything into one long document, and doing the normal keywording/coding etc. It would be the ability to carve up an archive in this way which could make internal tagging powerful. And you want to know which document those numbers came from] So then I could run this widget, get a new document with all the relevant entries, referenced so I knew where they came from initially. , but the document would also output the portions of text specifically markedup with (say) the Internal Tag ‘rhetoric’. ![]() This document would be created according to criteria: e.g. I want DT to be able to generate a document incorporating linked / cited text extracts from other documents. Moving back to the macro level, the DT power really comes in when you want to dice data. And I want to be able to assign multiple, overlapping tags to different parts of the text. In short, I want to be able to see user ‘coded’ tags on portions of the text. ![]() There is no point in tagging the whole document ‘rhetoric’, because then I have to go read it again / open it in a new app to see what I was referring to. Highlighting the word ‘religion’ in the OCR’d text isn’t enough, because there are scenarios in which I want to be able to annotate/tag/flag a section of the text with a thought e.g ‘Rhetoric’. At a glance, I cannot see which section of these documents I want. We’ve all used DT for this kind of document management - it excels here.īut then I run into a problem. The classify function is great, so is the word statistics. It means that I have my folder for newspaper cuttings from 1943, and can then dig down using tags to find just those cuttings talking about religion (for example) in 1943. I love being able to tag these, in addition to having them in a formal folder structure in DT2. I work with lots of journal articles, word documents, newspaper clippings, etc. Here’s a scenario in which I think the powers of DT would be tremendously useful, largely because I’m not just interested in the results of internal tagging in one document, but also between. To your question: ‘what does DTPO bring to the table to leverage this kind of work’. ![]() Thanks for the reminder about Nissus: it has matured considerably since I last looked, and I imagine you could use bookmarking and a clever macro to achieve approximately what I want, at least within documents. ![]()
