To populate Institutional Repositories, it is necessary to apply appropriate policies and strategies for dissemination and it is important to develop tools to detect all educational digital objects that are already published on institutional web sites that could be uploaded to a repository. This recopilation is a tedious task and is usually performed manually. In this paper we propose a system architecture for collecting text documents in Spanish or English to assist the manager of institutional repositories in the recopilation task of EDOs within a restricted website. Thus, plausible documents to be uploaded to a repository can be detected. Also, its metadata such as title, category, author, language, keywords and relevant contact data, are automatically extracted in order to ask the author for the publication of his/her document. A prototype of this system was developed and a case study at Universidad Nacional de Rosario (UNR) is analyzed.
