Abstract
Method and apparatus for analyzing a document against a managed research domain are provided. In one embodiment, a managed research domain provides an infrastructure where logical statements in research documents stored in the research domain repository are quantified and semantically analyzed. A user may submit a draft research document for analysis against the managed research domain to compare the draft against the current research knowledge in particular topics. The draft research document is annotated to reflect how the logical statements in the draft compare to the statements made on similar topics in the managed research domain.
Claims9
A computer-implemented method of analyzing a document with a managed research domain, comprising:
- parsing text of a first document to identify one or more assertions made by the text of the first document;
- for each identified assertion:
- generating assertion metadata describing a relationship between one or more topics in the assertion, and
- determining a set of documents stored by the managed research domain that contain assertions regarding the topics identified in the assertion;
- and
- providing an indication to a user of the set of documents that contain assertions regarding the topics identified in the one or more assertions.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
