Abstract
An application to the legal domain of information extraction is presented. Its goal is to automate the extraction of references from legal documents, their resolution, and the storage of their information in order to facilitate an automatic treatment of these information items by services offered in digital libraries. References are extracted matching the texts in the collection against sets of patterns, using grammars.
