Systems and methods for structured vocabulary search and classification
First Claim
1. A method for classifying structured vocabulary comprising:
- receiving input comprising at least one term, the at least one term related to an area of technology;
extracting every at least one term from the input to identify verbatim terms;
reviewing results from the extracting and manually modifying the extracted at least one term to eliminate duplicates of the extracted at least one term;
classifying each extracted at least one term, the classification associating one or more classified terms to each extracted at least one term, each of the one or more classified terms being related to the area of technology;
reviewing results from the classifying and manually modifying the classification results to eliminate one or more of the one or more classified terms; and
generating a result output containing each at least one term and the one or more associated classified terms.

Abstract
Systems and methods for classifying structured vocabulary where an input is received that includes one or more terms. The one or more terms relate to an area of technology. Each one or more terms are identified and extracted from the input. The results of the extraction may be reviewed, and manually modified if appropriate. Each extracted one or more terms are classified where the classification associates a classified term to each extracted one or more terms. Each classified term is related to the area of technology. The results of the classification may be reviewed, and manually modified if appropriate. A result output is generated containing each one or more terms and the associated classified terms.

21. A system for classifying structured vocabulary comprising:
-
at least one network;
at least one client computing device, the at least one client computing device operatively connected to the at least one network;
at least one database, the at least one database operatively connected to the at least one network; and
at least one server, the at least one server operatively connected to the at least one network, at least one server receiving input from at least one client, the input comprising at least one term related to an area of technology and causing the at least one server to perform;
extracting every at least one term from the input to identify verbatim terms;
allowing review of results from the extracting and manual modification of the extracted at least one term to eliminate duplicates of the extracted at least one term;
classifying each extracted at least one term, the classification associating a classified term to each extracted at least one term, each classified term being related to the area of technology;
allowing review of results from the classifying and manual modification of the classification results; and
generating a result output containing each at least one term and the associated classified term. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23)

24. An article comprising a storage medium having instructions stored therein, when executed causes a computing device to perform:
-
receiving input comprising at least one term, the at least one term related to an area of technology;
extracting every at least one term from the input to identify verbatim terms;
reviewing results from the extracting and manually modifying the extracted at least one term to eliminate duplicates of the extracted at least one term;
classifying each extracted at least one term, the classification associating one or more classified terms to each extracted at least one term, each of the one or more classified terms being related to the area of technology;
reviewing results from the classifying and manually modifying the classification results to eliminate one or more of the one or more classified terms; and
generating a result output containing each at least one term and the one or more associated classified terms.

25. A system for permitting structured vocabulary searches, the system comprising:
-
an enterprise having a single point of control for all system wide decisions and controls, wherein the enterprise includes an enterprise level database for receiving textual data that contains terms to be classified;
one or more domains that are each related to a particular scientific or technological area, wherein the one or more domains are provided within the enterprises and each of the one or more domains includes one or more knowledge bases and a domain level term synonym table;
one or more work packages provided within each of the one or more domains, wherein each of the one or more work packages defines a particular organization structure for effecting an evaluation, wherein each of the one or more work packages comprises;
a text extractor for evaluating narrative text, for extracting verbatim terms from the narrative text and for assigning a label to each of the verbatim terms;
a classifier for evaluating each of the verbatim terms extracted by the text extractor and deriving preferred matching and classification terms based upon one of the one or more knowledge bases or the domain level term synonym table; and
a reviewer for reviewing the classification of verbatim terms that have been classified by the classifier, for reviewing the verbatim terms extracted by the text extractor and for making corrections, wherein the enterprise includes an enterprise agent for storing the received textual data in an appropriate table based on a particular work package associated with the textual data and for later sending the received textual data to the particular work package. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29)

30. A system for permitting structured vocabulary searches, the system comprising:
-
an enterprise having a single point of control for all system wide decisions and controls, wherein the enterprise includes an enterprise level database for receiving textual data that contains terms to be classified;
one or more domains that are each related to a particular scientific or technological area, wherein the one or more domains are provided within the enterprises and each of the one or more domains includes one or more knowledge bases and a domain level term synonym table;
one or more work packages provided within each of the one or more domains, wherein each of the one or more work packages defines a particular organization structure for effecting an evaluation, wherein each of the one or more work packages comprises;
a text extractor for evaluating narrative text, for extracting verbatim terms from the narrative text and for assigning a label to each of the verbatim terms;
a classifier for evaluating each of the verbatim terms extracted by the text extractor and deriving preferred matching and classification terms based upon one of the one or more knowledge bases or the domain level term synonym table; and
a reviewer for reviewing the classification of verbatim terms that have been classified by the classifier, for reviewing the verbatim terms extracted by the text extractor and for making corrections, wherein the enterprise includes an enterprise agent for storing the received textual data in an appropriate table based on a particular work package associated with the textual data and for later sending the received textual data to the particular work package, wherein;
a text extractor identification is recorded to permit audit of decisions made by the text extractor;
a classifier identification is recorded to permit audit of decisions made by the classifier; and
a reviewer identification is recorded to permit audit of decisions made by the reviewer.

31. A method for searching and classifying structured vocabulary, the method comprising:
-
extracting received input data to obtain verbatim terms, wherein the extracting of the received input data includes;
formatting the input data into a work table of terms;
comparing the work table of terms with previous input terms and customer term synonym lists; and
defining terms in the work table of terms that are identifiable with the previous input terms or the synonym lists as the verbatim terms;
manually reviewing the verbatim terms to eliminate duplicate verbatim terms;
comparing the verbatim terms to concepts related to scientific or technological areas to determine if the verbatim terms are associated with any of the specific scientific or technological areas and accordingly classifying the verbatim terms in one or more of the scientific or technological areas if such an association is determined;
manually reviewing the classified verbatim terms; and
generating a result output that includes the classified verbatim terms, wherein the result output is in a format appropriate for storage in a customer database. - View Dependent Claims (32)
