Abstract
smartFIX is a product portfolio for knowledgebased
extraction of data from any document format. The system
automatically determines the document type and extracts
all relevant data for the respective business process. Data that is
unreliably recognized is forwarded to a verification workplace
for manual checking. In general, users have no difficulties
to interpret the document data and wonder why the system
needs additional input. For that reason, we implemented an
explanation component that is used to justify extraction results,
thus, increasing confidence of users. The component is using
a semantic log making it possible to provide understandable
explanations. We illustrate the benefits of that kind of technology
in contrast to the current smartFIX LogViewer by means
of a preliminary user experiment.
