A Blocking Scheme for Identification of Components and Sub-Components of Semi-Structured E-Documents

In order to convert a semi-structured e-document into an XML e-document, the physical components and subcomponents of the e-document must be tagged. Such tagging is possible once the components and subcomponents of the e-document are identified. A methodology, blocking scheme, is devised and used for this research effort to identify semi-structured e-documents' components and sub-components. The methodology was applied on 50 semi-structured e- documents of a specific type and the identification of their components and sub-components were achieved with 100% accuracy.
