The method also includes performing a first- query as a function of the first criteria with respect to a first database. The first database is populated with third data indicative of a plurality of second documents that each include a plurality of second data fields.

  • Publication number: 20070203876
    Abstract: A method of evaluating records. The method includes compiling a first database with at least one record. The at least one record is indicative of a predetermined document having at least one data field that does not substantially match a respective data field of at least one other document. The method also includes accessing a second database and populating the at least one record with first data indicative of second data located within the at least one data field of the predetermined document. The method also includes identifying at least one entity, automatically notifying the at least one entity of the at least one record, and populating the at least one record with third data. The third data is different than the first and second data. The method further includes functionally comparing the at least one record with the at least one other document to determine if the first and third data of the predetermined document substantially matches the respective data field of the at least one other document.
