Abstract

We have developed a system for gathering information from the Web, using it to create a personal history, and presenting it as a chronological table. It simplifies the task of sorting out the information for various namesakes and dealing with information in widely scattered sources. The system comprises five components: namesake disambiguation, date expression extraction, date expression normalization and completion, relevant information extraction, and chronological table generation.
