Abstract
Techniques for managing big data include tagging of documents and subsequent retrieval using per-subject dictionaries having entries with subject-determining-power scores. The subject-determining-power scores provide an indication of the descriptive power of the term with respect to the subject of the dictionary containing the term. The same term may have entries in multiple dictionaries with different subject-determining-power scores in each of the dictionaries. A retrieval request for one or more documents containing search terms descriptive of the one or more documents can be processed identifying a set of candidate documents tagged with subjects and optional terms, and then applying subject-determining-power scores from the multiple dictionaries for the search term to determine a subject for the search term. The method then selects the one or more documents from the candidate documents according to the subject.
