In this paper we propose an effective method to cluster documents into a dynamically built taxonomy of topics, directly extracted from the documents. We take into account short contextual information within the text corpus, which is weighted by importance and used as input to a set of independently spun growing Self-Organising Maps (SOM). This work shows an increase in precision and labelling quality in the hierarchy of topics, using these indexing units. The use of the tree structure over sets of conventional twodimensional maps creates topic hierarchies that are easy to browse and understand, in which the documents are stored based on their content similarity.
