Abstract
The universality and ubiquity of the Internet in the current information society has changed human life in many different ways. One important element of this change is the possibility of accessing a virtually infinite amount of information in digital text format. Consequently, the text-oriented derivation of data mining, text mining, has been gaining attention as the available volume of textual information grows at a rate that is by far higher than our human capacity to handle and process such a huge volume of information.
