RDF-based Model for Encoding Document Hierarchies

Some document clustering tools automatically or semi-automatically produce document hierarchies. Commonly, they are stored as text or graphical files. As a result, applications are not able to use them before some kind of processing. A more recent representation of document hierarchies employs Extensible Markup Language. However, the reusability of this representation is diminished because the semantic of XML elements is not machine accessible. This paper proposes the use of a resource description framework model to overcome these drawbacks
