Document Indexing -- Providing a Basis for Semantic Document Annotation
Proc. of Berliner XML Tage 2006, Berlin, Germany, (25-27 September 2006)
Abstract
A document index represents a concise ordered compilation of the document’s most important topics. It provides direct and fast access to the document parts related to the index information. Together with structural knowledge of the document itself in connection with general knowledge about indexing a 2-layered Index Graph is defined that is further mapped to an ontology representation. By defining suitable metrics it is shown how the Index Graph can be utilised to augment semantic applications. We have developed a system for supporting the author of a document in the process of index compilation. Other possible applications include document visualisation, and semantic document annotation.
