Nowadays, a number of universities, laboratories, government agencies and companies that placing theirs documents online and making them searchable are increasing because the Internet infrastructure for global data access is fully functional. However, a large number of organizations have documents that lack metadata. The lack of metadata breaks off not only the discovery and dissemination of these documents over the Internet, but also their connectivity with other documents. Unfortunately, manual metadata extraction is expensive and time-consuming for a large document, and most existing automated metadata extraction approaches have focused on specific domains and homogeneous documents. In this paper, we propose a combined cased-based and template-based metadata extraction approach to solve these issues. The key idea of solving the heterogeneity is to classify documents into equivalent groups so that each document group contains similar documents only. Next, for each document group we have a template of previous case that contains a process to extract metadata from documents in the group. © 2008 IEEE.
