"Autonomy Corp. (Cambridge, UK) and the Palo Alto (Calif.) Research Center [recently spun off from Xerox (73)], each, in different ways, use mathematical models of how long-term memory works in the brain to create concept maps out of the words on Web pages. At Verity Inc. (Sunnyvale, Calif.), researchers add things like organization charts and address books to infuse amorphous corporate documents with additional structure."
