Abstract

In this paper I will try to explain the nature of documentunderstanding in all of its dimensions. Therefore I willfirst describe the characteristics of data, knowledge, andinformation in order to describe their synergetic inter-weaving.After that I will try to structure the inherentcomplexity of sub-problems of document understandingwhich may not be solved serially, but rather are attributesof individual documents. Thus, this paper focuses onsystem engineering challenges. However, I will showsome recent work done on the different topics and givesome insights in the individual techniques we chose atDFKI.
