Abstract
An electronic document classification system disclosed herein classifies electronic documents. The classification of the documents may involve analyzing the document and the information attached to the document to generate a set of classification data and comparing the classification data with one or more classification rules to generate a set of classifying data. The system attaches the set of classifying data to the electronic document and displays the electronic document based on the set of classifying data. The classification data may also be used to prioritize the electronic documents and to assign a retention period to the electronic documents. The system is further adapted to receive user feedback regarding the classification of the electronic document and to update the classification rules.

18. A user interface for a computer monitor, comprising:
-
a display of a first listing of electronic documents; the first listing of electronic documents comprising the electronic documents grouped under a plurality of categories, wherein the electronic documents are assigned to the plurality of categories by (i) analyzing the electronic document to generate document identifying data for each of the electronic documents by pattern matching one or more concepts extracted from the electronic document with one or more concepts associated with one or more of the plurality of categories;
