Abstract

Lines of data that are from a historical document, such as a digitized city directory, have information extracted and stored in searchable data fields. Words and phrases within the lines of data are identified and tagged. Rendering rules are applied to the tagged words and phrases to extract names, addresses, occupations, spouse information and other data, and store that data in the searchable fields.
