The project INTLIB, an INTelligent LIBrary, aims to provide a more efficient and user-friendly tool for querying documents other than
full-text [1]. The work is funded by the Technology Agency of the Czech
Republic (grant no. TA02010182).
On the input we assume a collection of documents related to a particular
problem domain (e.g., legislation, medicine, environment, architecture,
etc.). In the first phase we extract a knowledge base from the documents
using natural language processing tools. In the second phase we deal
with efficient and user friendly visualization and browsing (querying) of the extracted knowledge.
The project team consists of researchers coming from MFF UK ([2], [3])
and businessmen from Sysnet Ltd. [4]. We will present the results we achieved so far on legislative domain. In addition, we, researchers,
will describe our experience gained while cooperating with the
commercial partner.
