Systems and methods for organizing innovation documents
First Claim
1. A computer-assisted method for supporting organization of innovation documents, comprising:
- maintaining a database in a physical storage medium;
storing in the database at least one computer-readable description for each of the following;
an innovation classification system, an ontology, a synonym vocabulary and a list of fill words;
storing in the database a plurality of computer-readable innovation descriptions;
receiving a computer-readable innovation document which describes an innovation;
processing the computer-readable innovation document, wherein said processing of the computer-readable innovation document is responsive to said reception of the computer-readable innovation document and comprises;
identifying key words of the computer-readable innovation document by mapping the computer-readable innovation document against the list of fill words;
producing a systematized version of the computer-readable innovation document by mapping the key words of the computer-readable innovation document against the computer-readable synonym vocabulary and the computer-readable ontology;
producing a weighting for each key word of the systematized version of the computer-readable innovation document by mapping its key words against the computer-readable innovation classification system;
determining an optimal placement of the innovation document in the innovation classification system based on the weightings for the key words; and
outputting the optimal placement of the innovation document and at least part of the innovation classification system to a physical output device.

Abstract
A system and method for innovation documents is disclosed. A database stores an innovation classification system, ontology, synonym vocabulary and fill word list plus prior innovation descriptions. An innovation document, describing a new innovation is received and processed (3-2), including identifying key words by ignoring fill words (3-4); using the synonym vocabulary (3-6) and ontology (3-10) to produce (3-12) a systematized innovation document; weighting (3-14) the key words of the systematized innovation document by mapping its key words against the innovation classification system (3-16); determining an optimal placement (3-18) for the innovation document in the innovation classification system based on the weights; and outputting the optimal placement and at least part of the innovation classification system.
