Domain specific language development for electronic document structure and content description

<p>The topic of this graduate work is &quot;Domain specific language development for electronic document structure and content description&quot;. The selected topic can be considered as actual because of the fact that the amount of unstructured data stored in electronic documents rapidly grows and traditional mechanisms can not cope with the problem of extraction of information. The grow of this kind of information can lead to the problems with data analyzing and processing.</p><p>The aim of this study was to design domain-specific language of the description which becomes a basis for the solution of problems and to optimize the approaches of unstructured data, and in particular electronic documents.</p><p>It follows a series of tasks set by the duration of the course such as:</p><p style="margin-left:71.45pt;">-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; to analyze the subject area named electronic documents;</p><p style="margin-left:71.45pt;">-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; to dissect languages of the description of documents and select the appropriate one;</p><p style="margin-left:71.45pt;">-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; to sift and select a tool for the design of DSL;</p><p style="margin-left:71.45pt;">-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; to design DSL for describing the structure and the content of electronic documents.</p><p>The final qualifying work includes two chapters and three applications. The first chapter is devoted to the study of theoretical aspects of the document description language, specifically to the review of existing methods of describing both the structure and the content of electronic documents. Also in the first chapter were disclosed notions such as electronic document and domain specific language, considered the most common development tools for DSL and system is selected for further development. The second chapter presents the identified requirements for designed language and describes domain-specific language development for electronic document structure and content description, implemented in the platform MetaEdit+.</p><p>The volume of this final qualifying work is 62 pages that contain 9 tables and 16 figures. Moreover in this final qualifying work was used 35 sources.</p>
