How long does it take to build a rulebase?
An effective starter rulebase can be prepared in two hours from an existing thesaurus or controlled vocabulary. This is the simple rulebase which gives about 60% accuracy in hits. After the simple rulebase is built we recommend about one month to build a complex rulebase to take you to 85% accuracy in hits. Actual time required varies with the size of the taxonomy and the writing style of documents.
