Abstract: This paper presents a system development approach for automated interpretation of discussion threads' messages in asynchronous distance education fora by using the content category as unit of analysis. This system introduce as inputs discussion threads from distance education fora and outputs strings representing the messages of these threads according to concrete modelling based in a formal language.
