Abstract |
In everyday life we come across a number of documents. It is commonly known that it is not an easy task to keep track and manipulate these documents. The use of computers facilitated document manipulation by permitting us to store the documents in an electronic form. Currently there are a number of standards available that deal with the problem of document manipulation, and Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), which is ISO standard 8879, is one of them. SGML is a descriptive markup language and it is mainly used for the description of the logical structure of documents. The logical structure of a class of documents is defined by a mechanism called Document Type Definition (DTD). One of the main characteristics of SGML is architecture independence, which permits document interchange. The objective of this thesis is the construction of an SGML parser generator. This takes as input a DTD and produces as output a parser, that parses the instance documents of the specified DTD. The suggested approach introduces formalism in the syntactical and lexical analysis. It is flexible and it follows an open architecture model. All these features make this approach more attractive than previous ones. The current implementation is used in the AQUARELLE project for parsing SGML documents and for loading their structure into the Semantic Index System.
