ABSTRACT
When scientists or engineers are looking for information in document collections, or on the web, they generally have a precise objective in mind. Instead of looking for documents "about a topic T", they rather try to answer specific needs such as finding the definition of a concept, finding results for a particular problem, checking whether an idea has already been tested, or comparing the scientific conclusions of two articles. This paper presents an indexing model which includes the decomposition of documents into fragments that will correspond to discourse elements (definition, hypothesis, method, result, etc.). The division of documents into fragments should allow scientists to retrieve more relevant information and to make queries more precise. Each type of discourse element will be modeled by defining specific characteristics. The representation model will allow operations that merge or combine retrieved documents or fragments. We will propose an interface that allows strategic reading such as parallel reading of fragments.

Finding hidden relevant documents buried in scientific documents by terminological paraphrases
Technical terms play an important role of effective queries for many users to search scientific databases. However, authors of scientific literature often employ alternative expressions to represent the meanings of specific terms, in other words, ...
Functional structure identification of scientific documents in computer science
The increasing number of open-access full-text scientific documents promotes the transformation from metadata- to content-based studies, which is more detailed and semantic. Along with the benefits of ample data, the confused internal structure ...
Automatic categorization of figures in scientific documents
