EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> Experiments were done to investigate the utility of the document parser. A portion of the database dictionary was analyzed to determine the ways the target concepts are expressed in that portion of the document. Then a grammar was constructed to cover these initial sentences. The grammar was run on the entire document to evaluate its recall and precision in identifying additional relevant sentences. The outcome of the run on the entire document was  used to augment the grammar, which can then be run on successive versions of the document over time to determine its value.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> Preliminary experiments using the grammar to extract information about the allowable XCS attribute and class combinations showed that the system works with good recall (six of twenty-six testcases were missed) and precision (only two incorrect testcases were returned). The grammar was augmented to cover the additional cases and not return the incorrect ones. Subsequent versions of the database dictionary will provide additional data on its effectiveness.</Paragraph>
