| Abstract: |
The article describes a new method for visual representation of report documents completeness during their acceptance. Report document’s completeness is being checked according to its original technical documentation (or technical statement). The base of the method is searching of key words (markers), which determine the introduction of a term and define borders of an important fragment. Selected fragments are divided into collocations of fixed size and added to a special list. The report document is also divided into fragments, which are compared with important fragments of technical documentation using selected collocation list. Every fragment of the report gets measure of similarity during the comparison. The measure helps evaluating the amount of the useful data in each paragraph. The compared text is represented as a dot-diagram compiled from the whole document. Besides the dot-diagram, that shows presence or absence of collocations in the text, we used another type of diagram showing links between fragments of report document and technical documentation. Every fragment of the technical documentation is assigned to a unique color that sequentially changes along the technical documentation’s diagram. We used the same color to show the similar fragment of report documentation. Reinforced by this visual information, an expert can easily make decision on the report’s quality. Besides expert can get a required fragment of text for a closer examination. The described method of visualization allows the expert to determine, if the considered report can be either easily rejected because of lack of useful information, or can be used for closer examination. Note, the described method can be applied to documentations and reports written under specific format only. The technical documentation should include the requirements to the form and content of report document, but not to the main concepts that it will be described. |
