This is the last post in a series about Google’s International patent application Natural Language Search Results for Intent Queries.

This section was inspired by the citations list at the end of a paper used by the listed inventors as a provisional patent, that preceded that patent. The paper was Scalable Attribute-Value Extraction from Semi-Structured Text (pdf).

I sometimes like to start looking through the documents I see listed as citations or footnotes in a paper I find interesting, As I started looking at the documents in that paper, I found many of them to be very interesting.

And then an idea struck me.

Rather than me trying to take just one or two of these papers, I’d share the process. Since the original paper was a PDF without any links to it, the chances of most people exploring those links was very limited.

And yet some of these papers should be read.

There’s one on the Semantic Web from 1975, created by the Department of the Navy. There’s another from the 80s, and three more from the early 90s. Some basic concepts that people interested in the Semantic Web and in Search Engines such as Wrappers are covered.

I don’t know all of the classic papers of the Semantic Web, and whether or not many of these are ones that fit into that category. But that’s why I’m sharing links to them – so that we can work on learning that together.

It you see something that strikes you as really interesting, please let me know in the comments.

Thanks, and I hope you find something really interesting in these.
