Abstract
The management of unstructured data has been recognized as one of the most attracting problems in the information technology industry. With the consistent increase of computing and storage capacities (due to hardware progress) and the emergence of many data-centric applications (e.g. web applications), a huge volume of unstructured data has been generated. Over 80% of world data today is unstructured with self-contained content items. Since most techniques and researches that have proved so successful performing on structured data don’t work well when it comes to unstructured data, how to effectively handle and utilize unstructured data becomes a critical issue to these data-centric applications.
