ENHANCING AUTOMATED TERMS LISTINGS IN HTML DOCUMENT PUBLISHING BASED ON USER SEARCHES

摘要

A terms listing production system generates a terms listing associated with an electronic document. Primary terms and primary definitions may be extracted from a glossary associated with the electronic document. Secondary terms may be identified based on user searches in relation to the electronic document. Secondary definitions associated with primary terms or secondary terms may be retrieved from external content and stored in connection with the associated terms. A markup language document configured for presentation to users is generated based on the stored terms and definitions.
