Abstract

Annotation is a key way in which documents grow and increase in value. This paper explores the possibility to use concepts extracted from documents by using a Natural Language Processing tool to characterize the content of digital theses. Then, using the results of the study, the paper explores the use of annotated theses in order to access to pertinent information stored in these documents and to extract knowledge by an “intelligent” search system.
