Preserving Conceptual Distance Within Unstructured Documents

A system comprising:

• a processor,
• a data bus coupled to the processor;
• and
• a computer-usable medium embodying computer program code, the computer-usable medium being coupled to the data bus, the computer program code used for characterizing content of documents by conceptual relationships and comprising instructions executable by the processor and configured for:
• applying natural language processing (NLP) to content in a plurality of documents to identify topics and subjects;
• applying analytic analysis to the topics and subjects to identify a conceptual relationship of the content in the plurality of documents;
• partitioning the content in each of the plurality of documents into a first structured hierarchy, preserving at least one structure in each document inherent in the each document;
• and
• providing access to content through a first index based upon utilizing the first structured hierarchy and through a second index utilizing a second structured hierarchy.

A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium embodying computer program code, the computer program code comprising computer executable instructions configured for:

• applying natural language processing (NLP) to content in a plurality of documents to identify topics and subjects;
• applying analytic analysis to the topics and subjects to identify a conceptual relationship of the content in the plurality of documents;
• partitioning the content in each of the plurality of documents into a first structured hierarchy, preserving at least one structure in each document inherent in the each document;
• and
• providing access to content through a first index based upon utilizing the first structured hierarchy and through a second index utilizing a second structured hierarchy.
