Abstract

Systems and methods are provided allowing the scraping and processing of regulatory compliance data (e.g., validation data). In an illustrative implementation, a data scraping and processing computing environment comprises a data scraping and processing engine operable to process/scrape legacy regulatory compliance data stored on one or more cooperating legacy data stores according to one or more selected data scraping guidelines. The data scraping guidelines can be defined according to one or more data types stored on the one or more cooperating legacy data stores. The one or more data scraping guidelines are defined by the data scraping and processing engine based on one or more characteristics of the identified legacy data stores. The data scraping and processing engine processes the stored data scrape and aggregate selected legacy regulatory compliance data for use in populating one or more selected regulatory compliance data templates.

Claims

1. A regulatory data scraping and processing system comprising:

at least one data source having regulatory compliance and/or clinical trial data; and

a data scraping and processing manipulation engine operable to process data from the data source to identify one or more desired data according to a selected data scraping paradigm for use in generating a taxonomy for the identified data and for populating/creating, in real time, selected templates according to the generated taxonomy that are compliant with one or more regulatory compliance rules,

wherein the data taxonomy is representative of correlated relationships between the identified data according to the selected data scraping paradigm.

2. The system as recited in claim 1, further comprising one or more data stores operable to store data comprising processed content, reporting data, legacy regulatory compliance data, and non-legacy regulatory compliance data.

3. The system as recited in claim 1, wherein the data scraping and processing engine comprises a computing application.

4. The system as recited in claim 1, wherein the data scraping paradigm comprises one or more data scraping guidelines based on one or more selected criteria.

5. The system as recited in claim 4, wherein the one or more selected criteria comprises the type of regulation applying to the regulatory compliance data and changes to the regulation applying to the regulatory compliance data.

6. The system as recited in claim 4, wherein the one or more data scraping guidelines comprise at least one instruction set to process regulatory compliance data based on one or more regulatory compliance data characteristics comprising the type of regulatory compliance data, the subject matter of the regulatory compliance data, the location of the regulatory compliance data, the clinical trials described by the regulatory compliance data, and the facilities described by the regulatory compliance data.

7. The system as recited in claim 1, wherein the generated taxonomy is based on the data types of the regulatory compliance data.

8. The system as recited in claim 1, wherein the generated taxonomy is based on the subject matter of the regulatory compliance data.

9. The system as recited in claim 1, wherein the generated taxonomy is based on the clinical trials described by the regulatory compliance data.

10. The system as recited in claim 1, wherein the generated taxonomy is based on the facilities described by the regulatory compliance data.

11. A computer implemented method for performing data scraping and processing of regulatory compliance data for use in populating, in real time, one or more regulatory compliance data templates representative of one or more changes to regulatory compliance rules comprising:

receiving data representative of regulatory compliance data;

applying one or more data scraping guidelines to the received data to generate scraped regulatory compliance data;

aggregating scraped regulatory compliance data; and

populating the regulatory compliance data templates with the scraped regulatory compliance data.

12. The method as recited in claim 11, further comprising generating a taxonomy for the scraped regulatory compliance data for use in populating/creating, in real time, selected templates according to the generated taxonomy that are compliant with one or more regulatory compliance rules.

13. The method as recited in claim 12, further comprising generating a taxonomy for the scraped regulatory compliance data representative of correlated relationships between the identified data according to the selected data scraping paradigm.

14. The method as recited in claim 12, further comprising generating a taxonomy for the scraped regulatory compliance data based on one or more regulatory compliance data characteristics comprising the type of regulatory compliance data, the subject matter of the regulatory compliance data, the location of the regulatory compliance data, the clinical trials described by the regulatory compliance data, and the facilities described by the regulatory compliance data.

15. The method as recited in claim 11, further comprising generating processed content using the populated regulatory compliance data templates.

16. The method as recited in claim 15, further comprising generating reporting data representative of scraped regulatory compliance data and/or process content.

17. The method as recited in claim 15, further comprising storing the processed content.

18. The method as recited in claim 17, further comprising communicating the processed content to requesting party.

19. The method as recited in claim 11, further comprising receiving data representative of regulatory compliance data from one or more selected regulatory compliance data sources.

20. A computer readable medium comprising computer readable instructions to instruct a computer to perform a method comprising:

receiving data representative of regulatory compliance data;

applying one or more data scraping guidelines to the received data to generate scraped regulatory compliance data;

aggregating scraped regulatory compliance data; and

populating the regulatory compliance data templates with the scraped regulatory compliance data.
