Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention pertain to determining a subset of documents from which a particular document was derived. According to one embodiment, similarity measurements indicating similarities between contents of documents are received. A subset of the documents that the particular document was derived from is determined based on dates the documents were created and the similarity measurements without requiring document tracking information to be associated with the documents to determine the subset.
Claims20
A method of determining a subset of documents from which a particular document was derived, the method comprising:
- receiving similarity measurements indicating similarities between contents of documents;
- and
- determining the subset of the documents that the particular document was derived from based on dates the documents were created and the similarity measurements without requiring document tracking information to be associated with the documents to determine the subset.
A system for determining a subset of documents from which a particular document was derived, the system comprising:
- document-similarity-receiver configured for receiving similarity measurements indicating similarities between contents of documents;
- and
- provenance-based-on-document-content-determiner configured for using dates the documents were created and the similarity measurements to determine a subset of the documents that a particular document was derived from, wherein the subset of documents is determined without requiring document tracking information to be associated with the documents.
A computer-usable medium having computer-readable program code embodied therein for causing a computer system to perform a method of method of determining a subset of documents from which a particular document was derived, the method comprising
- receiving similarity measurements indicating similarities between contents of documents, wherein the documents are unstructured documents that do have document tracking information;
- and
- using the similarity measurements to determine a subset of the documents that a particular document was derived from whereby analyzing the unstructured documents is enabled.
