The Header-Value Extract Method's properties

Header-Value

Header-Value is one of three methods available to Data Table elements to extract information from tables on a document set. It uses a combination of column header and column value extractors to determine the table’s structure and extract information from the table’s cells.

It uses a fairly simply concept as it's basis. You, a human reader, often know how to read a table because of the labels at the top of each column. You know a column labeled "Date" is going to dates in each row for that column. The "Header" part of Header-Value is establishing column header labels as the first step in modeling the table's structure. Furthermore, if you see a column labeled "Date", you expect to see date values in the cells below. You wouldn't expect to find a Social Security Number, for example. That just wouldn't make sense for how the column is labeled. This is the "Value" part of the Header-Value method. Once you establish where the table begins, using the header labels, you can more fully model the table's structure using information about the values in each column.

The earliest examples of OCR (Optical Character Recognition) can be traced back to the 1870s. Early OCR devices were actually invented to aid the blind. This included "text-to-speech" devices that would scan black print and produce sounds a blind person could interpret, as well as "text-to-tactile" machines which would convert luminous sensations into tactile sensations. Machines such as these would allow a blind person to read printed text not yet converted to Braille.

The first business to install an OCR reader was the magazine Reader's Digest in 1954. The company used it to convert typewritten sales reports into machine readable punch cards.

It would not be until 1974 that OCR starts to form as we imagine it now with Ray Kurzweil's development of the first "omni-font" OCR software, capable of reading text of virtually any font.
