Post Processing of Relational Data

DyNetML files generated with AutoMap, any other software, or any editor can be post processed with this package in order to enhance the information in the data. This is comparable to an Expert System.

In order to open the Post Processor, click the Tools menu in AutoMap and select Map Processor. The Post Processor GUI will pop up.

2. Load Relational Data
 Load single DyNetML file:
Click the File menu and select Open single file. A file chooser will pop up.
a) Double click on the file that you wish to analyze or
b) Single click on the file. Hit the Open button.
The text will be displayed on P1 on the 1. Input Text index card.

2. Open a set of texts
All texts you wish to analyze concurrently must be stored in one folder.
Click the File menu and select Open multiple files. A file chooser will pop up. Choose the folder that contains the texts you wish to analyze and single click on it. The folder will be highlighted in blue. Do not double click on the folder. Hit the Open button. The first text will be displayed on P1, 1. Input Text index card.
