7 Conclusion
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> This paper presented a scheme for integrating natural language processing and information retrieval by adopting a finite-state model of language and a ternary expression representation of document content. We provided justification for our language model and representational structures in both linguistic and empirical terms. ItEXTOR is an implementation of our ideas -- it not only integrates many previous natural language indexing techniques, but also provides a sufficiently general framework for much future experimentation.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> Although we have not yet conducted comprehensive tests, the extraction of &amp;quot;meaning&amp;quot; from documents using ItEXTOR promises to better fulfill users' information needs.</Paragraph>
