Abstract:
In some forms containing keywords and content, there may be nested levels of keywords, also referred to as a hierarchy. Content in the forms may be associated with one or more keywords in one or more of the nested levels, or in the hierarchy. Identifying keywords in adjacent cells in a table (with a nested keyword being either to the right of or below another keyword) enables distinguishing between keywords and content in filled forms, and enables correct association of content with respective keywords.
