1. A method of dynamically performing an interactive bidirectional profile matching between a plurality of source documents and a plurality of structured target documents, comprising:

  • extracting an index from each of the structured target documents, the index containing a plurality of elements;

    identifying a schema for the index;

    assigning weighting values to the elements of the index;

    mapping path expressions in the plurality of source documents;

    for at least some of the structured target documents, matching the path expressions in the plurality of source documents to the index from each of the structured target documents, according to the index schema;

    as a new target document is added, automatically identifying an index schema for the new target document, and incrementally matching the index schema for the new target document to the path expressions in the plurality of source documents, according to the index schema of the new target document; and

    as a new source document is added, automatically mapping a new path expression for the new source document, and incrementally matching the new path expression to the index from each of the structured target documents, according to the index schema of each of structured target documents, for dynamically performing the interactive directional profile matching.
