Abstract:
Building a new document needs the
preparation of required information and finding
the related written parts that have already
identified from existing documents. In this paper,
we outline the importance of structuring documents
in order to facilitate the reuse of their content. We
show how explicit structure representation
facilitates the understanding of the original
documents, identification of reusable existing parts
and propose techniques to facilitate the
configuration of the desired document. Our
approach is based on Semantic Web Technologies,
in particular, Variability Modelling reasoning with
ontologies, and the idea of Active Documents
extended with the adopted methods from Software
Product Lines Engineering respectively.
