23. A system for maintaining a large aggregation of electronically stored documents and making them available to users that submit inquiry messages, comprising:
-
a. at least one data collection for storing documents in electronic form, each document having a unique identifier; b. an intake component for receiving the content of new documents to be added to the at least one data collection and directing enrichment processing of new documents; c. a timestamp component associated with the intake component for locating or placing in a received document at least one PIT field substantially simultaneously with releasing the document for access in the at least one data collection;
