Abstract: The document management system has a Native Template database including a list of templates for one or more types of documents having common characteristics and a Conversion Database including a list of one or more data points associated with each listed document type, one or more descriptive text entries associated with each listed data point, and proximity range information relating to the location of the data point within the descriptive text. The locations of words, sentences, paragraphs, and sections within the externally generated document are recorded and a document type is selected from the Native Template database that has common characteristics. A data point is selected from the template and the introduced document is searched for Possible Data Points. A determination is made as to whether Possible Data Point values are located within a Proximity Range. A cumulative Evaluation Score is calculated for each Possible Data Point value. The Possible Data Point with the highest score is recorded.

Abstract: A computer implemented method for analyzing an externally generated document for use in a document management system having a Native Template database including a list of templates for one or more types of documents having common characteristics and a Conversion Database including a list of one or more data points associated with each listed document type, one or more descriptive text entries associated with each listed data point, and proximity range information relating to the location of the data point within the descriptive text. The externally generated document is introduced into the system. The locations of words, sentences, paragraphs, and sections within the document are recorded. A document type is selected from the Native Template database that has characteristics in common with the externally generated document. A data point is selected from the template. The introduced document is searched for Possible Data Points based on the Data Type of the selected data point in the Conversion Database.

Abstract: The software based interactive system provides accessibility to an institution's own policies via either an internet web site or an intranet home page. Qualified users may search for and access documents related to institution policies for review, including a list of those which the user is required to know. Where required, a test is provided to the user. The responses are scored and the results stored. Administrative users can set and change qualification parameters as to individual, group and/or institution-wide policy access and receive individual, group and/or institution-wide test results. Identification of incomplete, contradictory or obsolete policies, policies awaiting approval, policies due for review and data on user review of policies can be reported.
