01. What the sources establish

  • Hancom published HWP specifications in 2010 and describes HWPX as an XML-based OWPML format under KS X 6101.
  • The vendor describes its 2021 default-format transition and notes that AI workflows require preprocessing of tables, images and other document structures.

02. Our interpretation and proposed approach

Our analysis: opening a file, extracting text, understanding table relationships and editing an exact form are separate capabilities. Measure omissions and correction time using representative administrative documents.

03. Questions for your own workflow

These are proposed review questions. They do not establish requirements for a specific institution.

  • Preserve relationships in merged table cells
  • Distinguish footnotes, headers and footers
  • Identify scanned images separately from text
  • Link every extracted claim back to its source page
