Abstract
This paper presents an object-oriented form description language which has been developed to enhance the performance and flexibility of advanced form reader systems. The paper also outlines the structure of a form reader which would allow the language's capabilities to be fully utilised. The form description language presented here is novel in two ways: firstly, it allows the comprehensive utilisation of contextual information; and secondly, it enables the storage of form models which economically describe the logical and layout variations in the form design which are allowed for a particular class of form.
