Abstract
We present a method for describing composite documents based on the descriptions of their components. Our main objective is to assist authors of composite documents in selecting documents and their descriptions during the authoring process. We assume that a document description is a set of terms from a given taxonomy, such that no two terms in the set are comparable. We call such a description a “reduced description” and we show that the set of all reduced descriptions forms a complete lattice under an appropriate ordering. Based on this lattice we introduce the concept of “admissible description” and we argue that admissible descriptions are the only ones that describe composite documents in a useful and meaningful manner.
