Method, system, apparatus, program code and means for identifying and extracting information
First Claim
1. A processor-implemented method, comprising:
- generating, via a processor, a list of information sources from one or more information source devices, each information source selected as having information potentially political, regulatory, or reputational risk relevant to a topic;
grouping, via the processor, the information sources from the list of information sources into a first type of information source and a second type of information source based on a likelihood that information from the information source will be political, regulatory, or reputational risk relevant to the topic;
prequalifying information received from an information source of the second type of information source as political, regulatory, or reputational risk relevant to the topic;
receiving, via the processor, first information from an information source of the first type of information source from the list of information sources;
translating the received first information into a standardized format;
determining, via the processor, whether the translated first information is political, regulatory, or reputational risk relevant to the said topic based on one or more keywords;
monitoring periodically according to an established information source update frequency, via the processor, the information source of the first type to identify a change in the first information; and
retrieving, via the processor, updated information from the information source of the first type upon identifying the change.

Abstract
Some embodiments include a system, method, apparatus and means for identifying and extracting information include generating a list of information sources, each selected as having information potentially relevant to a topic, the list of information sources including sources of at least a first type and sources of a second type, retrieving first information from an information source of the at least first type and determining that the first information is relevant to the topic, monitoring the information source of the at least first type to identify a change in the first information, and retrieving updated information from the information source of the at least first type upon identifying the change.

9. A system, comprising:
-
a processor; a communication device coupled to receive data from information sources from one or more information source devices; and a storage device in communication with the processor and storing a list of the information sources from the one or more information source devices, each information source selected as having information potentially political, regulatory, or reputational risk relevant to a topic, the storage device further storing instructions adapted to be executed by the processor to; group the information sources from the list of information sources into a first type of information source and a second type of information source based on a likelihood that information from the information source will be political, regulatory, or reputational risk relevant to the topic; prequalify information received from an information source of the second type of information source as political, regulatory, or reputational risk relevant to the topic; receive first information from a first information source of the first type of information source; translate the received first information into a standardized format; determine whether the translated first information is political, regulatory, or reputational risk relevant to the topic based on one or more keywords, relationship terms, or action terms; monitor the first information source to identify a change in the first information; and receive updated information from the first information source upon identifying the change. - View Dependent Claims (10, 17, 19)

11. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer executable software instructions stored therein, the medium comprising:
-
instructions to gather information from one or more information sources via an information gathering engine; instructions to group the one or more information sources into a first type of information source and a second type of information source based on a likelihood that information from the information source will be political, regulatory, or reputational risk relevant to the topic; instructions to prequalify information received from an information source of the second type of information source as political, regulatory, or reputational risk relevant to the topic; instructions to receive first information from a first information source of the first type; instructions to translate the received first information into a standardized format; instructions to determine whether the translated first information is political, regulatory, or reputational risk relevant to the topic based on one or more keywords; instructions to monitor the first information source to identify a change in the first information; and instructions to receive updated information from the first information source upon identifying the change. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 20)
