  • Patent number: 9886488
    Abstract: Data files are received from data sources that include textual content. The data files are categorized using a taxonomy of categories, where each category has sample textual content that defines a concept for the category. The categorizing includes comparing the textual content of the data file with the sample textual content for the category. A file score is calculated for each data file to compare the degree of similarity between the defined concept of the category and a determined concept for the data file. Each data file is associated with the category if the file score is equal to or greater than a pre-determined minimum score for the category. A portion of the data file and/or file score is be provided.

  • Publication number: 20080222141
    Abstract: A method and system for comparing search results is described. In one embodiment, the method comprises receiving a search query; searching a plurality of documents using the search query to generate a first query result; storing the first query result; searching a plurality of documents using the search query to generate a second query result; comparing the first query result and the second query result to generate a compare result; and displaying the compare result. In other embodiments, the process includes a machine-readable medium that provides instructions for a processor, which when executed by the processor cause the processor to perform a method of the present invention.

  • Publication number: 20080218808
    Abstract: A system, method and machine-readable medium providing for review of documents. The method includes receiving a request for a document over a network from a document presentation device, the document having a file type; retrieving the document from a memory; determining the file type; in response to determining the file type is in one of a first set of formats, sending the document to the document presentation device; and in response to determining the file type is in one of a second set of formats, launching an application on a remote application server and sending information to the document presentation device to display the output of the application on the document presentation device, the application corresponding to the file type.

  • Publication number: 20080222168
    Abstract: A method and machine-readable medium for reviewing documents are described. A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving a plurality of documents; for each document in the plurality of documents: determining if the document is attached to a parent document; if the document is not attached to a parent document, creating a root node in a hierarchy corresponding to the document; and if the document is attached to a parent document, creating a child node in the hierarchy corresponding to the attached document, the child node being inserted as a child of the node corresponding to the parent document; and selecting a first document; and performing an action on the first document and any documents having a specified relationship to the first document based on the hierarchy. In other embodiments, the process includes a machine-readable medium that provides instructions for a processor, which when executed by the processor cause the processor to perform a method of the present invention.
