Purpose: This is an example of how to handle RSS Feeds with the Text Analytics collection.

• Reads Food and Drug Administration RSS News Feeds
  
• Calculate Text Descriptors from Title and Abstract
  
• Generate document similarity matrix
  
• Clusters documents (AGNES)
  
• Reduces dimensions using Multi Dimensional Scaling
  
• Reports a MDS Map and a detailed sortable table
  

This protocol uses the Data Connector reporting component to link the MDS map and the table. You can select some document to highlight them in both. You also have access to the original document by clicking on the chart or the title in the sortable table.
