An architecture for document management

The main goal of this work is to investigate a computational architecture for a document management environment. Its propose is to digitalize and extract information from documents of any type, transforming them into structured electronic documents. The environment was divided into Specification and Extraction modules. In the first module, the user per-forms the Document Specification, capturing physical, semantic and process information from the document. The Extraction module uses this information, in order to recognize documents of the same class of the specified one. This environment offers the possibility to visualize the classification results and to correct eventual mistakes it has made Also, it allows document reconstruction from physical and semantic information captured in the Specification module.
