1. A computer-implemented method comprising: traversing a corpus of documents to identify a plurality of lists within the documents, wherein each list comprises structured data delimited from other data in a document, and wherein each list specifies an enumeration of elements; selecting a pair of terms based on determining that both terms of the pair are contained in a first quantity of lists that are included in the documents in the corpus, wherein the first quantity is more than a first predetermined quantity, and wherein each list in the first quantity of lists includes more than a second predetermined quantity of terms; determining a first value that represents a quantity of documents in the corpus that include a list that contains both terms of the pair; determining a second value that represents a quantity of the documents in the set corpus that include a list that contains at least one of the terms of the pair; when both terms of the pair are contained in the first quantity of lists that are included in the documents in the corpus, determining a correlation value from the first value and the second value; determining that the correlation value satisfies a threshold; and designating, by one or more computers, the pair of terms as potentially non-synonymous terms by adding the pair of terms to a blacklist, based on determining that the correlation value satisfies the threshold, wherein the blacklist is accessed for synonym determination.

The method of claim 1 , wherein one or more lists in the plurality of lists comprise a HyperText Markup Language (HTML) definition list.
