Abstract

A method and a system for automated content analysis to assess impact on one or more business organizations. Content is aggregated from at least one content provider. The aggregated content is classified in knowledge ontology on the basis of a plurality of attributes of the content. Subsequently, a score is assigned corresponding to the impact of the classified content on the business organization in accordance with a set of scoring rules. Finally, a graphical representation is generated showing a cumulative score corresponding to the impact of the content on the business organization assessed during a predefined time period.

Claims

1. A method for automated content analysis for assessing impact on one or more business organizations, the method comprising the steps of:

aggregating content from at least one content provider;

classifying the content in a knowledge ontology based on a plurality of attributes of the content in accordance with a set of classification rules, the knowledge ontology comprising one or more functional nodes corresponding to organization specific functional concepts;

assigning a score corresponding to the impact of the content on the business organization in accordance with a set of scoring rules; and

generating a graphical representation showing a cumulative score corresponding to the impact of the content on the business organization assessed during a predefined time period.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of identifying the plurality of attributes of the content based on a set of semantic rules.

3. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of generating the knowledge ontology corresponding to an operating model of one or more business organizations operating in one or more industry domains.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the knowledge ontology comprises a plurality of nodes organized at one or more levels, and wherein classifying the content in the knowledge ontology comprises identifying one or more relevant nodes at each level;

and logically appending the content to each relevant node.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein classifying the content in the knowledge ontology is based on applying semantic rules using at least one natural language processing technique selected from a group including:

latent semantic analysis, probabilistic latent semantic analysis, and computational linguistics.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the knowledge ontology comprises at least one of one or more domain specific ontologies and one or more organization specific ontologies;

and further wherein classifying the content in the knowledge ontology comprises at least one of classifying the content in one or more domain-specific ontology; and

classifying the content in one or more organization specific ontology, using a set of classification rules.

7. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of specifying the predefined time period using a graphical interface.

8. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of updating the knowledge ontology based on a first predefined criterion.

9. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of updating at least one of the set of semantic rules, the set of classification rules, and the set of scoring rules based on a second predefined criterion.

10. An impact assessment system for automated content analysis for assessing the impact on one or more business organizations, the impact assessment system comprising:

a content aggregating module for aggregating content from at least one content provider;

a content classification module for classifying the content in a knowledge ontology based on a plurality of attributes of the content in accordance with a set of classification rules, the knowledge ontology comprising one or more functional nodes corresponding to organization specific functional concepts;

a scoring module for assigning a score corresponding to the impact of the content on the business organization in accordance with a set of scoring rules; and

a graphical interface module for generating a graphical representation showing a cumulative score corresponding to the impact of the content on the business organization assessed during a predefined time period.

11. The impact assessment system of claim 10, wherein the content classification module further identifies the plurality of attributes of the content based on a set of semantic rules.

12. The impact assessment system of claim 10 further comprising a knowledge database comprising a knowledge ontology based on an operating model of one or more business organizations operating in one or more industry domains.

13. The impact assessment system of claim 10, wherein the knowledge ontology comprises a plurality of nodes organized at one or more levels, wherein the content classification module identifies one or more relevant nodes at each level;

and logically appends the content to each relevant node in the knowledge ontology.

14. The impact assessment system of claim 10, wherein the knowledge ontology comprises at least one of one or more domain specific ontology and one or more organization specific ontology;

and wherein the content classification module classifies the content in at least one of the one or more domain-specific ontologies and the one or more organization specific ontologies using a set of classification rules.

15. The impact assessment system of claim 10, wherein the knowledge database stores at least one of the set of semantic rules, the set of classification rules, and the set of scoring rules.

16. The impact assessment system of claim 10, wherein the content classification module classifies the content in the knowledge ontology based on at least one natural language processing technique selected from a group including:

latent semantic analysis, probabilistic latent semantic analysis, and computational linguistics.

17. The impact assessment system of claim 10 wherein the graphical interface module provides a graphical interface for specifying the predefined time period.

18. The impact assessment system of claim 10, wherein the graphical interface module provides a graphical interface for updating the knowledge ontology in the knowledge database.

19. The impact assessment system of claim 10, wherein the graphical interface module provides a graphical interface for updating at least one of the set of semantic rules, the set of classification rules, and the set of scoring rules.

20. A computer program product for use with a computer, the computer program product comprising instructions stored in a non transitory computer usable medium having a computer readable program code embodied therein for automated content analysis for assessing impact on a business organization, the computer readable program code comprising:

program instruction means for aggregating content from at least one content provider;

program instruction means for classifying the content in a knowledge ontology based on a plurality of attributes of the content in accordance with a set of classification rules, the knowledge ontology comprising one or more functional nodes corresponding to organization specific functional concepts;

program instruction means for assigning a score corresponding to the impact of the content on the business organization in accordance with a set of scoring rules; and

program instruction means for generating a graphical representation showing a cumulative score corresponding to the impact of the content on the business organization assessed during a predefined time period.

21. The computer program product of claim 20, wherein program instruction means for classifying the content classify the content in the knowledge ontology based on at least one natural language processing technique selected from a group including:

latent semantic analysis, probabilistic latent semantic analysis, and computational linguistics.
