An architecture for content analysis of documents and its use in information and knowledge management tasks
Branimir Boguraev, Christopher Kennedy, Sascha Brawer · ACM SIGCHI Bulletin · 1998
We present a generalised architecture for document content management, with particular emphasis on component functionalities and reconfigurability for different content management tasks.Natural language technologies are encapsulated in separate modules, which then can be customised and tailored for the specific requirements of the type of document, depth of analysis, and detail of output representation, of different document analysis systems.The versatility of the architecture is illustrated by configuring it for two diverse tasks: analysing technical manuals to instantiate databases for on-line assistance, and deriving topically-rich abstractions of content of arbitrary news stories.
