Data mining of text is sometimes called text mining, at least IBM does
use this term. Often text mining uses co-occurences of words/strings to
extract information. If you are looking for software that can analyse
text, look at my page at http://www.intext.de/TEXTANAE.HTM for an
overview and links to test/demo versions.
