Information extraction from EIA documents
Environmental impact assessment (EIA) is the formal process used to predict the environmental consequences of a plan. We present a rule-based extraction system to mine Czech EIA documents. The extraction rules work with a set of documents enriched with morphological information and manually created vocabularies of terms supposed to be extracted from the documents, e.g. basic information about the project (address, ID company, ...), data on the impacts and outcomes (waste substances, endangered species, ...), a final opinion. The documents Notice of Intent contains the section BI2 with the information on the scope (capacity) of the plan.
