Abstract
This paper reviewed recent studies on some aspects of the content stru cture of the information media. The content of information media is no t just a random grouping of words, but rather carefully constructed se t of concepts put together by an author to express the author's idea. Therefore as a essential nature of the information media, its content involves structure. After types of structures and terms are defined, r elations between structures and subject analysis, subject representati ons with relationship among concepts, structural analysis of abstracts and research papers, and information needs from structural point of v iew are discussed. Needs for validated analysis of structures and cumu lation of studies are emphasized.
