Using the TeraGrid1 and the SRB DataGrid2, we have sufficient
computational and storage facilities to run normally prohibitively
expensive processing tasks. By integrating text and data mining
tools3[4] within the Cheshire35 information architecture, we can
parse the natural language present in 20 million MARC records (the
University of California’s MELVYL collection) and extract information to
provide to search/retrieve applications. In this talk, we’ll discuss
the results of applying new techniques to ‘old’ data.
