System and Method of Determining and Recommending a Document Control Policy for a Document
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- determining a genre classification for a document, the genre classification comprising multiple terms and corresponding scores, each score for a term indicating a confidence level for the term with respect to the document;
identifying a relevant node in a document control policy ontology by comparing the genre classification with the document control policy ontology;
assessing a confidence level for applicability of the relevant node based at least in part upon at least one of the scores;
selecting a parent node of the relevant node in the document control policy ontology to stand in for the relevant node if the assessed confidence level for applicability of the relevant node falls below a threshold; and
recommending at least one document control policy to govern access to the document based on the identified or selected relevant node in the document control policy ontology.

Abstract
This specification describes technologies relating to identifying an appropriate document control policy for a given document. In general, a method can include determining for a document a genre classification including multiple terms and corresponding scores indicating confidence levels for the terms with respect to the document; identifying a relevant node in a document control policy ontology in accordance with the genre classification; assessing a confidence level for applicability of the relevant node based at least in part upon at least one of the scores; selecting a parent node of the relevant node in the document control policy ontology to stand in for the relevant node if the assessed confidence level for applicability of the relevant node falls below a threshold; and recommending at least one document control policy to govern access to the document based on the identified or selected relevant node in the document control policy ontology.

9. A system comprising:
-
a user interface device; a document control component comprising a hierarchical knowledge structure including document control policies, including at least one document control policy inherited by a parent node in accordance with an algebraic maximum of rules associated with child nodes of the parent node; and one or more computers operable to interact with the user interface device and the document control component to determine a genre classification for a document, compare the genre classification with the hierarchical knowledge structure to identify a relevant node among multiple nodes, including the parent node, and recommend at least one document control policy to govern access to the document based on the identified relevant node in the hierarchical knowledge structure. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computer program product, encoded on a computer-readable medium, operable to cause data processing apparatus to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving a genre classification for a document, the genre classification comprising multiple terms and corresponding scores, each score for a term indicating a confidence level for the term with respect to the document; identifying a relevant node in a document control policy ontology by comparing the genre classification with the document control policy ontology; assessing a confidence level for applicability of the relevant node based at least in part upon at least one of the scores; selecting a parent node of the relevant node in the document control policy ontology to stand in for the relevant node if the assessed confidence level for applicability of the relevant node falls below a threshold; and recommending at least one document control policy to govern access to the document based on the identified or selected relevant node in the document control policy ontology. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
