XRCE Participation to the Book Structure Task

We present here the XRCE participation to the Structure Extraction task of the INEX Book track 2009. After briefly explaining the four methods used for detecting the book structure in the book body, we explain how we composed them to address the book structure task. We then discuss the Inex evaluation method and propose another measure together with the corresponding software. We then report on each individual method. Finally, we report on our evaluation of the results of all participants.
