There is a concern regarding the volume of data that is managed by textual
disambiguation. But the volume of data that can be processed is secondary to the
transformation of data that occurs during the transformation process. Simply stated, it
doesn’t matter how fast you can process data if you cannot understand what it is that you
are processing. The fact that textual disambiguation is dominated by transformation is
depicted in Fig. 1.3.10.

There is then a completely different emphasis on the processing that occurs in the
repetitive unstructured world versus the processing that occurs in the nonrepetitive
unstructured world.
Different Worlds
This difference is seen in Fig. 1.3.11.
