  • Publication number: 20040034635
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system, method and computer program product for identifying and matching company names to business event information. A crawler crawls and downloads documents by starting from a pre-defined set of links. A parser breaks down the downloaded documents into components like text, titles and links. An evaluator evaluates the parsed documents and selects documents on the basis of amount of relevant information contained in the documents. An information extractor identifies the occurrences of company names in the text contained in the selected documents. It also identifies occurrences of business events, specified by a pre-defined set of event phrases, in the text contained in the selected documents. Further, the information extractor matches the identified company names to the identified business events in order to generate company-business event pairs.
