We propose a graph-based decomposition methodology of a network of document features represented by a terminology graph. The graph is automatically extracted from raw data based on Natural Language Processing techniques implemented in the TermWatch system. These graphs are Small Worlds. Based on clique minimal separators and the associated graph of atoms: a subgraph without clique separator, we...
