Abstract: A method for automatically creating a model of documents representing a class of documents. The method includes the steps of providing a plurality of documents separated into different classes; and determining at least one potential identifying tag within one document belonging to one class. The identifying tag may be defined by at least its graphical content, size and location within the document. The method also includes checking whether the potential identifying tag is included within at least a document of the class and creating a model of documents related to said one class, the model including the selected identifying tags.
