Document creation with Information retrieval system support

Abstract

This paper proposes a method to directly facilitate the author's needs during the creation of text documents or source code. The Information retrieval system is integrated with a text editor in order to find similar documents to the created document during its writing phase. The Suggested retrieval method consists of text extraction and segmentation from different text document formats and source code documents into logical and semantic segments. These segments are subsequently used to calculate similarity with the new document using an optimal matching algorithm.
