Augmentation and processing of digital information sets using proxy data

A method of utilizing data fields in a digital information set to automate population of data fields in a digital information set with contextual proxy data, the method comprising executing an application in a data processing system that transforms the data processing system into a machine for:

• receiving a digital information set that includes the data fields, wherein each of the data fields is associated with a data type representing a type of the parameter that the data field is designed to contain;
• reviewing the digital information set to determine an identity of an intended recipient of the digital information set;
• determining a context of each data field from the data type of the data field and the identity of the intended recipient of the digital information set;
• identifying each data field of the received digital information set whose content is a candidate for proxy data by determining if the content is incomplete, empty, or, based on the determined context of the data field, contains information that does not comply with rules that allow the processor to determine at least one of accuracy and relevancy;
• evaluating the data type and the determined context of each of the data fields and determine proxy data that correlates with the data type and the context of each data field with which to populate the field;
• and
• modifying the digital information set with the determined proxy data;
• transmitting the digital information set modified with the determined proxy data to a recipient electronic system.
