A step forward to hypertext
Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2002)
Abstract
In this paper, after a critical review of how hypertext has been understood over the past few years, we claim against the distinction between total and partial hypertext, and we provide a brief description of a dynamic system that allows the automatic highlighting of those textual elements related to a certain topic. The outcome of our approach is ESQUITX, an automatic highlighter based on different filters, particularly those referring to topic information. The general process can be summarized as follows: once the text is lemmatized, by means of our Spanish tagger, a collection of filters is applied, and only the resulting lemma forms are highlighted.
