Information Extraction and Automatic Markup for XML Documents

As XML is going to become the standard document format, there is still the legacy problem of large amounts of text (written in the past as well as today) that are not available in this format. In order to exploit the benefits of XML, these legacy texts must be converted into XML. In this chapter, we discuss the issues of automatic XML markup of documents. We give a survey on existing approaches, and we describe a specific system in some detail.
