Abstract

In the domain of historical study, historian and researchers face a dounting task; they must analyze, categorize and assimilate a huge amount of information. Information extraction would be a very complex and difficult task in research and historical preservation, as the materials might contain a lot of unstructured and ambiguous information. Powerful extraction tool and advanced technology have no point, if the information has not been annotated properly, especially for historical document, in this project, a matadata and date structure are designed for one of the oldest newspapers in Sarawak, Sarawak Gazette, based on the Text Encoding Initiatives (TEI) latest's guideline. It stimulates accurate-annotated metadata to make information accessible and thus facilitates information extraction of the historical newspaper. Layout of Sarawak Gazette will be analyzed using the proposed technique the bottom-up page segmentation approach, in order to design the metadata structure.
