1. A method for collating and intelligent sequencing of installation documentation, the method comprising:

  • automatically creating, by one or more processors, annotations that include one or more tags and name/value pairs, through natural language processing (NLP), wherein the NLP examines a plurality of product installation documents, searching for procedure names, wherein the procedure names correspond to a plurality of software products that are installed and integrated together, and wherein one or more dependencies between the plurality of software products affect an order and steps involved in the installation;

    identifying, by one or more processors, parameters and prerequisites associated with the procedure names to generate complete annotations;

    inserting, by one or more processors, the complete annotations into the plurality of product installation documents using a structured data model;

    parsing, by one or more processors, the plurality of product installation documents to identify annotations within the plurality of product installation documents associated with installation procedures of the plurality of software products;

    extracting, by one or more processors, installation procedure descriptions, parameters, and prerequisites associated with the identified annotations; and

    generating, by one or more processors, prescriptive step-by-step installation instructions according to the installation procedure prerequisites, wherein related tags are combined.
