Abstract:

This paper presents an ongoing work to uniformly represent structured documents by mean of Attribute Grammars (AG). Each document corresponds to a syntactic tree with nodes decorated with sets of attributes. The values of these attributes correspond to characteristics which specify the semantics of both the textual content and the structural elements. We show how to use this representation for the Information Retrieval (IR) task from collections of structured documents. We give a brief global overview of the proposed DASTIR system, describing the specification of the syntactic and the semantic parts of the AG generated to give the desired response to a structural query.
