Abstract
The theme of this paper is the application of automated semantic markup techniques on natural heritage literature to address information needs of taxonomists. Two machine learning based techniques (supervised and unsupervised machine learning) are discussed and compared on a real world corpus. A prototype application that supports batch and online modes of converting free text documents to XML format is described.
