Input Into Textual Disambiguation

The input into textual disambiguation comes from many different places. The most
obvious source of input is the electronic-based text that represents the document that is
to be disambiguated. Another important source of data is taxonomies. Taxonomies are
essential to the process of disambiguation. There will be an entire chapter on taxonomies.
And there are many other types of parameters based on the document being
disambiguated.

Fig. 4.6.3 shows some of the typical input into the process of textual disambiguation.
