An Algorithmic Solution for Management of Related Text Objects with Application in Phytopharmacy

This paper presents an algorithmic solution for management of related text objects, in which are integrated algorithms for their extraction from paper or electronic format, for their storage and processing in a relational database. The developed algorithms for data extraction and data analysis enable one to find specific features and relations between the text objects from the database. The algorithmic solution is applied to data from the field of phytopharmacy in Bulgaria. It can be used as a tool and methodology for other subject areas where there are complex relationships between text objects.
