5 Browsing and Retrieval System
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> for Articles in TV Newscasts and Newspapers The alignment process has a capability for information retrieval, that is, browsing and retrieving articles in TV newscasts and newspapers. As a result, using the results of the alignment process, we developed a browsing and retrieval system for TV newscasts and newspapers. Figure 9 shows the overview of the system. The important points for this system are as follows: * * Newspaper articles and TV news articles are cross-referenced.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> * A user can consult articles in TV newscasts and newspapers by means of the dates of broadcasting or publishing.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> * A user can consult newspaper articles by full text retrieval. In the same way, user can consult TV newscasts which are aligned with retrieved newspaper articles. In other words, content based retrieval for TV newscasts is available.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="3"> * Newspaper articles are written in ttTML. In addition to this, the results of the alignment process are embedded in the HTML texts. As a result, we can use a WWW browser (e.g.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="4">  Netscape, Internet Explorer, etc) for browsing and retrieving articles in TV newscasts and newspapers.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="5"> A user can consult articles in newspapers and TV newscasts by full text retrieval in this way: when the user gives a query word to the system, the system shows the titles and the dates of the newspaper articles which contain the given word. At the same time, the system shows the titles of TV news articles which are linked to the retrieved newspaper articles. For example, a user obtains 13 newspaper articles and 4 TV news articles when he gives &amp;quot;saishutsu (annual expenditure)&amp;quot; as a query word to the system. One of them, entitled &amp;quot;General annual expenditure dropped for three successive years&amp;quot; (June, 4, 1997), is shown in Figure 10. The newspaper article in Figure 10 has an icon in the above right, looks like an opening scene of a TV news article. The icons shows this article is linked to the TV news article. When the user select this icon, the system shows the TV news article &amp;quot;Public work costs were a seven percent decrease&amp;quot; (the top left window in Figure 10).</Paragraph>
