    Hi,

    I am a postgraduate working on a project looking at how text from a British
    news agency is being reused by various newspapers. I am interested in
    whether anyone else is working on anything similar or knows any other
    projects dealing with reuse. I am trying to get a grasp on how to actually
    define reuse as not only am I dealing with verbatim copy of text, I am also
    looking at cases where text is paraphrased. Has anyone any ideas or opinions
    on what they consider as reuse of text, or what tools could be used to
    extract reused material?

    Thanks for any comments,

    Paul Clough.
