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.
Text preprocess (this preprocess service requires that the input text be in plain text format (file .txt) and UTF-8).
Basically, it carries out: (i) text segmentation into minor structural units (titles, paragraphs, sentences, etc.); (ii) detection of entities not found in dictionaries (numbers, abbreviations, URLs, emails, proper nouns, etc.); and (iii) the keeping of sequences of two or more words in a single block (dates, phrases, proper nouns, etc.).
POS tagger. (The input file must be in plain text format (file.txt) and UTF-8 encoded. The disambiguation process is done by a TreeTagger instance trained by the IULA.)
A tool for statistical corpus exploitation. It offers concordances, counts ngrams, extracts collocations and gives association, distribution and similarity measures.
