Clause taxonomy system and method for structured document construction and analysis

A system for constructing a structured document comprising:

• a clause library comprising a plurality of clauses classified by clause category and clause clusters classified by cluster category, each clause and clause cluster comprising a clause taxonomy comprising contextual metadata and extrinsic metadata associated with each clause;
• a clause parsing engine comprising a natural language processing algorithm for parsing clauses and clause clusters to provide a vector description of the clause comprising one or more vector expressions defining the relationship between words in the clause;
• a clause matching engine for matching parsed clauses and clause clusters to similar clauses and clause clusters in the clause library using clause and clause cluster taxonomy and the vector description of the clauses and clause clusters;
• and
• a graphical user interface for displaying a structured document deconstructed into clauses and clause clusters in the document and similar clauses and clause clusters from the clause library to identify clause variants along with contextual metadata and extrinsic metadata relevant to the at least one clause from the clause library.

A system for structured document analysis comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one non-transitory memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
• parsing a plurality of clauses from a structured document, each clause comprising clause text and a clause taxonomy comprising contextual metadata and extrinsic metadata associated with each clause, the parsing comprising using natural language processing of the clause text and a multidimensional mapping of the clause taxonomy to provide a vector description of each clause defining a relationship between clause taxonomy and clause text;
• classifying the plurality of clauses by clause cluster by comparing the vector description of the clause to vector descriptions of other clauses and clause clusters in a clause library;
• and
• displaying, on a graphical user interface, a particular clause in the structured document next to at least one clause from the clause library with a similar vector description and in the same clause category as the particular clause along with the contextual metadata and extrinsic metadata relevant to the at least one clause from the clause library.
