in a community (e.g., a conference or a journal) that specifies the use of a very extensive, permissive, and non-pattern-based markup language, the large majority of authors use a pattern-based subset of such language for writing their scholarly documents;
only a small number of pattern-based documents coming from different communities (written by different authors in different formats) is needed for automatically generate qualitatively good and generic syntactical visualisation for all documents included in all the communities in consideration.
only a small number of pattern-based documents of a community (written by different authors) is needed for extracting the structural semantics of the main components of all the documents included in a particular community.

it is possible to develop and implement a mechanism that enables the automatic enhancement of scholarly papers – independently from the markup used for storing them and the natural language used for writing their content – by means of an iterative process composed by several steps, where each step is responsible for providing additional semantic connotations of the document components included in such scholarly papers by combining the enhancements obtained as outcomes of the previous steps according to precise rules
some experiments have been run in the past and, according to their outcomes, they suggest that the approach proposed in this article can be implemented
