  • Method and system to analyze rules based on aspect-value coverage
    Publication number: 20070198497
    Abstract: There is provided methods and systems to provide aspect-value coverage. First, the system receives a first plurality of data items from a database utilized by an information storage and retrieval platform. Next, the system applies a first plurality of rules to the first plurality of data items to generate a second plurality of data items associated with a first domain. Next, the system counts the second plurality of data items respectively to determine a total quantity of data items. Next, the system applies a second plurality of rules to the second plurality of data items to identify a third plurality of data items that contain matching information identified by the respective rule. Next, the system associates the third plurality of data items with a first aspect-value pair based on the respective rule. Next, the system counts the third plurality of data items respectively to determine a first quantity of data items.
