Development of the XML digital library from the Parliament of Andalucia for intelligent structured retrieval

This paper describes the development of the XML digital library in Spanish from official documents published by Parliament of Andalucia. These documents include discussions about some important matters affecting citizens from the southern Spanish region of Andalucia. The original documents, which are organized around a very well defined structure, were published in PDF format, so the complete conversion process is explained in detail. The main reason for this format change is to allow the users of the regional chamber's website to make the most of the interesting advantages given by the structured Information Retrieval.
