Automatically identify the structure of a document’s contents
The Document Structure Analysis API identifies the main structural components of a document or email, extracting titles, section headings, subject, recipient, sender, and more to generate an outline resembling a “table of contents” of the document or message. Use it to get an overview of the component structure of a document.
MeaningCloud’s Document Structure Analysis API
Unfortunately, not all documents come with their built-in table of contents. Many documents and other contents (such as emails) are presented as a sequence of words that should be traversed from beginning to end to get an idea of their structure. The Structure Analysis API of a MeaningCloud Document automatically extracts that structure from both documents (title, section headings, and subsections) and emails (recipient, sender, subject).
In this way we can achieve a structural understanding of the content, identifying the components of the document and their titles as they appear in the original.
