Abstract: Disclosed is a technique that intakes data from an initial court case and relevant court cases to identify relevant events and entities (e.g. an individual or an organization). The technique generates interrelationships between the entities associated with the event and indicates a time (e.g., the month and year) of the event. The technique uses the identified data (e.g., an event and the associated entities) to further search social network data and Web data to identify additional data relevant to the initial court case. The technique maps the data from the social networks and the Web to determine more accurate interrelationships of relevant entities, events, and locations. From this map, a user can discover one or more patterns or anomalies relevant to the initial court case. For example, a detected anomaly can enable a litigator to focus defense efforts on a specific time frame before the occurrence of the anomaly.
