Automatic Document Structure Detection for Data Integration
semistructured data, document analysis, visual segmentation, logical structure
A great amount of information is still being stored in loosely structured
documents in several widely used formats. Due to the lack of data description in
these documents, their integration to the existing information systems requires
sophisticated pre-processing techniques to be developed. To the document reader,
the content structure is mostly presented by visual means. Therefore, we propose
a technique for the discovery of the logical document structure based on the
analysis of various visual properties of the document such as the page layout or
text properties. This technique is currently being tested and some promising
preliminary results are available.
