Abstract
A method, system and computer program product for creating a subject annotator. A user input query is accepted and specifies a target subject to be annotated. Based on the query, a search for similar words to the target subject is conducted and creates a set of related terms. The set of related terms are used to search for and identify further related terms. Both the related terms and further related terms are added to a master word list. The master word list is used to annotate the target subject.
