  • Document structure identifier
    Publication number: 20040006742
    Abstract: A method of automated document structure identification based on visual cues is disclosed herein. The two dimensional layout of the document is analyzed to discern visual cues related to the structure of the document, and the text of the document is tokenized so that similarly structured elements are treated similarly. The method can be applied in the generation of extensible mark-up language files, natural language parsing and search engine ranking mechanisms.
