Data Projection Model: Applications

TaxMap Page

In this TaxMap page, the topic is named "Income Earned Abroad" and it is related to two other topics whose names are "Income" and "U.S. Citizens and Resident Aliens Abroad". In the corresponding audited page, we see that the topic name originates from a document (p593-001), that it has been related through the containment rule (an automatic rule) to "Income", and has been related by experts (this is what "related PFT" means) to "Living Abroad". In addition, we can see the normalized form of the name and the address (URL) of the page within the system.

Note that the "related PFT" relation is to "Living Abroad" and not "U.S. Citizens and Resident Aliens Abroad".

This page shows that experts have decided that "American citizens abroad" and "U.S. Citizens and Resident Aliens Abroad" should be considered alternate names for "Living Abroad". The name which is privileged, i.e. the one that appears in the Related Topic link in the Tax Map page, is "U.S. Citizens and Resident Aliens Abroad". The current rule of the application is that the longest name gets automatically privileged.

This image also shows that five names have been discarded by experts and replaced by the name "Living Abroad". When a name is replaced by another, all the other attributes of the topic (including its occurrences and relations to other topics) are preserved. The reason for doing this is to reduce the amount of "noise" in the system and to concentrate meaning around subjects which have more connections than they would have if left on their own.

Many other properties of TaxMap are shown in the audited view. If you want to see more of it, please send an email to Michel Biezunski.

What follows is an excerpt of the list of topic names that are automatically related through the containment rule: when one topic name is entirely contained inside another, they are related.
