We propose an asymmetric paradigmatic proximity metric between terms which provide insight into hierarchical structure of scientific activity and test our methods on a case studywith a database made of several millions of resources.

Terms can also be dynamically clustered providing a high-leveldescription of the evolution of the paradigmatic fields.
