1. INTRODUCTION
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> As the amount of on-line text grows at an exponential rate, developing useful text analysis techniques and tools to access information content from various electronic sources is becoming increasingly important. In this paper we present an applied research prototype system that intends to accomplish two major tasks. First, a set of key terms, ranging from single word terms to four word terms, are automatically generated and organized in a hierarchical structure out of a text dataset which represents a specific topic. Second, a graphic user interface (GUI) is established that provides the domain expert or the user with an interactive environment to visualize the key term hierarchy in the context of the original dataset.</Paragraph>
