A Framework for Multilingual Searching and Meta-information Extraction: what is "term isolation"? "Term isolations means extracting the individual terms from the text. This is necessary for languages such as Chinese and Japanese, that do not contain white space between individual terms. Term isolation is not a trivial task, and requires the software to understand the language's grammar and have a complete dictionary. Term isolation is clearly a language-specific task (with different software modules for different languages)."
