In this paper, we present a new approach that lets us extract, and represent relations among terms (concepts) in the documents and uses these relations to support various document analysis applications. Our approach works by building a graph of local co-occurrence relations among terms that are extracted directly from text and by defining a global similarity metric among these terms and sets of terms using the graph and its connectivity. We demonstrate the benefit of the approach on the problem of MeSH keyword annotation of documents based on their abstracts.
