It's how the data can be efficiently accessed... by term or by document. Lucene is naturally an inverted index, and thus makes it easy to ask "what documents contain this term". Term vectors store the term information indexed by document and make it easy to ask "what terms does this specific document have". -Yonik --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
