AUTOMATED CONFLICT OF INTEREST REPORTING METHODS AND APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A method of identifying one or more conflicts of interest between a principal and an agent, the method comprising:
- determining that the agent has performed a covered action on behalf of the principal;
determining an existence of at least one covered interest for the agent;
associating, with at least one processor, the at least one covered interest with the covered action if it is determined that the at least one covered interest exists.

Abstract
Computer-implemented architectures and interfaces for automated conflict of interest reporting using a bias ontology are described. In a covered action search, potential conflicts of interest are identified by associating one or more covered interests for an agent with one or more covered actions performed by the agent on behalf of a principal. A bias report representing the potential conflicts of interest may be displayed to a user reading a covered document or transmitted to a user in a separate notification. Multiple user interfaces for generating a query used to perform a semantic search for data stored according to a bias ontology are also described.

14. A method of identifying one or more potential conflicts of interest between a principal and an agent, the method comprising:
-
receiving at least one query to identify the one or more potential conflicts of interest; aggregating, with at least one processor, information from a plurality of data sets based, at least in part, on information in the at least one query and metadata associated with the information in the plurality of data sets; and outputting an indication of the aggregated information, wherein the indication represents the one or more potential conflicts of interest between the principal and the agent. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A computer-readable storage medium encoded with a plurality of instructions that, when executed by a computer, perform a method comprising:
-
determining that the agent has performed a covered action on behalf of the principal; determining an existence of at least one covered interest for the agent; associating the at least one covered interest with the covered action if it is determined that the at least one covered interest exists.

26. A computer system comprising:
-
at least one processor programmed to; receive at least one query to identify the one or more potential conflicts of interest; aggregate, with the at least one processor, information from a plurality of data sets based, at least in part, on information in the at least one query and metadata associated with the information in the plurality of data sets; and output an indication of the aggregated information, wherein the indication represents the one or more potential conflicts of interest between the principal and the agent.
