Text is a common fabric of society, yet it is still challenging for our technology to make sense of text. This is where taxonomies can help. In this book, Bill Inmon will introduce you to the concept of taxonomies and how they are used to simplify and understand text. We emphasize the practical aspects of taxonomies, and the subsequent usage of taxonomies as a basis for textual analytics.

Jack Ryan has only just moved back into the Oval Office when he is faced with a new international threat. An aborted coup in the People's Republic of China has left President Wei Zhen Lin with no choice but to agree with the expansionist policies of General Su Ke Quiang. They have declared the South China Sea a protectorate and are planning an invasion of Taiwan. The Ryan administration is determined to thwart China’s ambitions, but the stakes are dangerously high as a new breed of powerful Chinese anti-ship missiles endanger the US Navy's plans to protect the island.

Der neue Fall für die Saarlouiser Kommissare Kathrin Krämer und Michel Paquet ist zuerst gar keiner: Der Gewürzhändler Lothar Dude hatte einen tödlichen Unfall, in seiner brandneuen Limousine fuhr er auf schnurgerader Straße gegen einen Baum. Krämer findet das verdächtig, die Autopsie fördert tatsächlich einen erstaunlichen Befund zutage: Dude hatte eine Überdosis Safran intus. Selbstmord? Mord? Die Ermittlungen um den Gewürzhändler und den mörderischen Safran bringen Paquet und Krämer mit einem Frauen-Kochklub in Kontakt, denn im Saarland gilt mit gutem Grund das Motto "Hauptsach gudd gess" (Hauptsache, gut gegessen).

Saarlouis brodelt, aus der Umgebung strömen die Menschen zur 'Emmes', einem mehrtägigen Volksfest mit Kirmes, Buden und großem Musik-Feuerwerk. Das Saarlouiser Kommissariat liegt mittendrin, und nicht nur das: Hauptkommissarin Kathrin Krämer und ihr Kollege Michel Paquet ermitteln, weil ein Angestellter der Stadt Saarlouis tot aufgefunden wurde. Er war für die Vergabe der Standplätze auf der 'Emmes' zuständig und kleinen 'Geschenken' nicht abgeneigt, wie Paquet und Krämer herausfinden.

Die Stadtbücherei im saarländischen Nehdorn brennt lichterloh. Hauptkommissar Michel Paquet und seine Kollegin Kathrin Krämer aus Saarlouis werden noch in der Nacht zum Tatort gerufen, denn unter den Trümmern der Bücherei finden die Feuerwehrleute eine männliche Leiche. Der Verdacht auf Brandstiftung bestätigt sich bald, aber die Identität des Toten in der Bibliothek gibt Krämer und Paquet Rätsel auf - genauso wie Johann Burger, der Leiter der Bücherei.

Kathrin Krämer und Michel Paquet sind Hauptkommissare in Saarlouis, der 'heimlichen Hauptstadt' des Saarlandes. Ihr aktueller Fall führt sie in die Laubenkolonie der stillgelegten Grube Zellersweiler. Die Schrebergärten sollen eingeebnet werden, damit Parkplätze für das zum Kulturzentrum umgebaute Grubengebäude entstehen können. Da wird Norbert Gessner, früher Bergmann in Zellersweiler, ermordet in seiner Laube aufgefunden. Am Vortag noch hatte Gessner den Direktor des neuen Kulturzentrums massiv unter Druck gesetzt, um die Kolonie zu retten.
