Section 2 outlines the Webclopedia approach and architecture; Section 3 describes document retrieval and processing, Section 4 describes the QA Typology, Section 5 the parsing, and Section 6 the matching.}, publisher = {NIST}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/question-answering-in-webclopedia/}, }
