Document creation system and method using knowledge base, precedence, and integrated rules
First Claim
1. A data structure generation system comprising:
- a knowledge base configured to be coupled to a data structure assembly facility, the knowledge base configured to store data structure components as objects in an object-relational hierarchy, each object configurable to have a precedence, to include one or more rules, and to include content.

Abstract
A data structure generation system. The system includes a knowledge base configured to store data structure components as objects in an object-relational hierarchy. Each object is configured to have a precedence, to include one or more rules, and to include content. The knowledge base may be coupled to a data structure assembly facility configured to retrieve one or more cross-referenced data structure components from a database. The one or more data structure components are configured to have a precedence level, and may be processed in a processor to generate a tree having a root node. The tree may be processed beginning at the root node, and objects of low precedence may be overidden with objects of high precedence.

14. A method of assembling a data structure from a group of components, the method comprising:
-
retrieving one or more cross-referenced data structure components from a database, the one or more data structure components configured to have a precedence level;
processing the one or more cross-referenced data structure components in a processor to generate a tree having a root node;
processing the tree beginning at the root node; and
overriding objects of low precedence with objects of high precedence. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A computer readable medium containing instructions for generating a data structure by
retrieving one or more cross-referenced data structure components from a database, the one or more data structure components configured to have a precedence level; -
processing the one or more cross-referenced data structure components in a processor to generate a tree having a root node;
processing the tree beginning at the root node;
overriding objects of low precedence with objects of high precedence; and
transforming the resulting tree into a data structure representing a document. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24)
