This chapter has addressed the particular problem of attempting to locate, by using a user -friendly structured interface, information in organizational publications that are issued in large volumes and which cover similar concepts or issues. The general aim of the work described was to present a model for automatically augmenting segments of these documents with metadata, using dynamically acquired background domain knowledge, in order to assist users in easily locating information within these documents through a structured front end.
We have successfully applied the presented model for extension documents within the agricultural domain. The technique used to achieve this goal is a simple but powerful one, which could be generalized to apply to any collection of documents that cover similar concepts within a known domain.
