Contents matching defined by prototypes: methodology verification with books of the bible

摘要

It is common that text documents are characterized and classified by key words, index terms, or headings. We have developed a new methodology based on prototype matching. The prototype is an interesting document or a part of an ex- tracted, interesting text. This prototype is matched with the existing document data- base or with the monitored document flow. The claim is that the new methodology is capable of extracting the contents of the document. To verify this hypothesis, a test whit the Bible was designed. Different translations in English, Latin, Greek, and Finnish were selected to text materials.
