Re: [school-discuss] most frequently used words

	Hello,

	Try to look at Wordnet : http://www.cogsci.princeton.edu/~wn/online/ 
	You may find a lot of tools like that in the field of knowledege
management and even more in information retrieval because a lot of
research is actually done on semantic analysis and retrieval.

	Cheers,
	Dom
