This presentation describes the motivation and tools that have been built to automatically create reduced structural representations of tagged text. These tools are novel in that they let one use the basic tenets of SGML without creating DTDs by hand. The presentation also describes the process used to go from specific document instances to generalized grammars (DTDs).”
