Abstract
In this paper we outline the design considerations and application of a methodology to author technical documents in order to improve retrieval. Our approach is firmly aimed at large organizations where variations in terminology at personal, national and international scales often impede retrieval of relevant knowledge. We first present the difficulties in performing entity extraction in technical domains and the role variation in terminology has in the information extraction task before outlining and evaluating a methodology that allows for effective retrieval.
