Abstract: A system for analyzing a document in a repository is provided. The system receives a document that includes data and a document type. The document type has an associated physical structure. The system determines a logical structure of the document based in part on the data and selects a subset of the data based on at least one of the group including the associated physical structure and the logical structure. The system also stores a document segment that includes the selected subset of the data.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system and related method that enables a user to use one or more appropriate ROI tools according to the needs of the users. Specifically, the user provides data related to the organizations and technical expenditures, and this information is used to determine an applicable set of ROI tools. The inputted data is then provided to the applicable ROI tools for automatically examining a company's financial data, and using this evaluation to assess the desirability of technology expenditures.

Abstract: A system for analyzing a document in a repository is provided. The system receives a document that includes data and a document type. The document type has an associated physical structure. The system determines a logical structure of the document based in part on the data and selects a subset of the data based on at least one of the group including the associated physical structure and the logical structure. The system also stores a document segment that includes the selected subset of the data.

Abstract: A system including a document repository is provided. The system determines, automatically, a level of similarity between at least two of a plurality of discrete elements stored in the document repository. The system then stores data representative of a link between the elements based in-part on the level of similarity. In another embodiment, the system determines a relationship between documents by retrieving a plurality of documents from a document repository. The system segments at least two documents of the plurality of documents into a plurality of conceptually meaningful segments. The system determines if a segment of one document is related to a segment of another document and stores data representative of the relationship.

Abstract: A method for translating to and from an hierarchical information system, comprises identifying a non-hierarchical information system containing information stored in a non-hierarchical manner; developing a translation map that identifies organizational and content based rules for translating the non-hierarchical information into an hierarchical information system; and translating the non-hierarchical information for storage into the hierarchical information system according to the rules for translating.
