Abstract
A method and system are disclosed for creating compact integrated metadata representing a set of documents. Each document comprises a set of terms. The metadata comprises a set of topic profiles, each topic profile defining a relationship between a topic and the documents, a set of document surrogates, and a list of terms which may distinguish among documents. Each document surrogate describes a subset of terms occurring in the document and thus permits a document to be searched for by term as well as topic.
