Abstract: Systems and methods for processing content packages such as human-readable documents identify and analyze content type. Structural and logical evaluation of a Content package is performed, followed by analysis and indexing of concepts within the package. Analysis and identification of concepts and sub-concepts may be an iterative process. Concepts are indexed in accordance with different rule sets representing Different consumer needs and perspectives. Customers can then use the indices to navigate large groups of content packages based on the concepts contained within those packages and also on keywords associated with concepts.

Abstract: A system for storing and retrieving text-based documents stores each of the documents in accordance with a mark-up language that comprises mark-up elements defined by a meta-language such as XML (Extensible Mark-up Language). In particular, each text document includes a plurality of text items, and each text item is associated in the text document with at least one of the mark-up elements. Each text document is stored at a central repository that is in communication with a plurality of user computers. A user can retrieve those documents that are of interest by formulating a search query that is transmitted from a user computer to the central repository. A search engine searches through the text items of each stored text document in order to determine which text documents satisfy the search query. Those text documents that satisfy the search condition are retrieved from the central repository and provided to the user computer for display.

Abstract: The electronic distribution of research documents over the world wide web or other network to investors. A repository server receives research documents from contributors. A restriction subsystem server is selectively coupled to the contributor workstation. The restriction subsystem server which includes manages and stores "restriction" and "review" information of companies, relative to contributors. A contributor identifies (via electronic communication or otherwise) to the restriction subsystem server a "restriction" and/or "review" status of a company relative to the contributor. A particular company may be identified as "RESTRICTED" if the contributor has a current banking or financial interest in the company. Additionally, a company may be identified as "UNDER REVIEW" if the contributor believes its opinion about the company may change based on a news event. Moreover, a company may be identified as "UNDER EXTENDED REVIEW," if, for example, the contributor is not presently "covering" that company.
