Abstract
A method of automatic data checking and correction comprises the steps of receiving a textual input, and associating at least one attribute value in the textual input with at least one respective element and attribute in the textual input. The method further comprises the steps of comparing the at least one attribute value from the textual input with at least one attribute value stored in a database for the respective element and attribute, and then replacing the at least one attribute value in the textual input with the stored attribute value in response to the at least one attribute value being different from the respective stored attribute value. A system for performing the same is also described.
Claims24
A method of automatic data checking and correction, comprising:
- receiving a textual input having at least one attribute value;
- associating the at least one attribute value with at least one respective element and attribute;
- comparing the at least one attribute value from the textual input with attribute values stored in a database for the respective elements and attributes;
- and
- replacing the at least one attribute value in the textual input with the stored attribute value in response to the at least one attribute value being different from the respective stored attribute value.
A method of automatic factual data delivery to the desktop, comprising:
- receiving a textual input;
- associating at least one attribute value with at least one respective element and attribute in the textual input;
- querying a database regarding the at least one attribute value;
- retrieving at least one stored attribute value from the database;
- comparing the at least one attribute value from the textual input with the at least one stored attribute value retrieved from the database for the at least one respective element and attribute;
- and
- replacing the at least one attribute value in the textual input with the at least one stored attribute value in response to the at least one attribute value being different from the at least one stored attribute value.
A system of automatic data checking and correction, comprising:
- a computer-readable medium having encoded thereon a process operable to:
- receive an input having elements, attributes and attribute values;
- associate the attribute values with respective elements and attributes;
- compare the attribute values from the input with attribute values stored in a database for the respective elements and attributes;
- and
- replace the attribute values with the stored attribute values in the input in response to the attribute values in the input being different from the respective stored attribute values.
