  • Patent number: 11423094
    Abstract: A system and method for assessing a potential problem associated with information in a document. In an embodiment, a document for analysis may be received, the document being part of a corpus of one or more documents stored in an electronic format. The document may be analyzed to identify reference(s) in the document, wherein the reference(s) are each selected from the group comprising a natural language statement, a reference in a first part of the document to a second part of the document, or a reference to or from another document. Based on the reference(s), a knowledge graph may be generated to represent information in the document. A risk assessment of a reference in the document may be determined using the knowledge graph. A visual indicator may be applied to the document that emphasizes a potential problem with the reference based on the risk assessment.

  • Patent number: 11423357
    Abstract: Computer-implemented techniques are disclosed for managing reusable collaborative content item components in a collaborative content management system. The techniques include providing locations in collaborative content items where users may store reusable components. When editing a collaborative content item, a user may select a portion, fragment or section of the collaborative content item content and save that as a reusable component. The reusable component is saved in a reusable component catalog. Other users may then insert the same component from the reusable component catalog t into their collaborative content items. When the component in the catalog is updated, other collaborative content items in the collaborative content management system that use that component are automatically updated as well.

  • Patent number: 11416577
    Abstract: A declarative mechanism is used to manage large documents within a repository. The large documents are sectioned into subdocuments that are linked together by a parent document. The combination of the parent document and subdocument is referred to as a compound document. There are multiple options for configuring rules to break up a source document into a compound document and naming the subdocuments. The compound documents may be queried using statements that treat the compound document as a single XML document, or the parent document of a subdocument may be queried and treated independently. Access control and versioning can be applied at the finer granularity of the subdocument.
