A first approach to the automatic recognition of structural patterns in XML documents

Research Articles in Simplified HTML: a Web-first format for HTML-based scholarly articles

“…Also, thanks to the regularity they provide, it is possible to perform easily complex operations on pattern-based documents even when knowing very little about their vocabulary (automatic visualisation of document, inferences on the document structure, etc.). In this way, designers can implement more reliable and efficient tools, can make a hypothesis regarding the meanings of the document fragments, can identify singularities and can study the global properties of a set of documents, as described in Di Iorio et al (2012) and Di Iorio et al (2013).…”

The Document Components Ontology (DoCO)

“…• The Scholarly Contributions and Roles Ontology (SCoRO) 13 -an ontology based on PRO for describing the contributions that may be made, and the roles that may be held by a person with respect to a journal article or other publication (e.g. 16 (i.e., a list of metadata properties for the accurate and consistent identification of a resource for citation and retrieval purposes) to be described in RDF; • The Bibliometric Data Ontology (BiDO) 17 [25], is a modular ontology that allows the description of numerical and categorial bibliometric data (e.g., journal impact factor, author h-index, categories describing research careers) in RDF.…”

“…The creation of DoCO was undertaken by studying different corpora of documents (mainly scientific literature and web documents on different topics) and publishers' guidelines, from two perspectives -the structural and the rhetorical -as was also done by past works on document patterns [13][14][15]. We also undertook some informal interviews with researchers in different fields and with academic publishers, in order to gather as much information as possible about document components and their use.…”

“…Instead of defining a large number of complex and diversified structures, in [13] we proposed a small number of structural patterns that are sufficient to express what most users need, characterised by two main aspects:…”

“…The regularity of pattern-based documents (defined by means of markup languages such as DocBook or LaTeX) then makes it possible to perform complex operations easily, even when knowing very little about the documents' markup vocabulary. This in turn enables designers to implement more reliable and efficient tools [14], make hypotheses regarding the meanings of document fragments [15], identify special cases, and study global properties of sets of documents [13].…”
