First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- analyzing an electronic document to generate document identifying data;
classifying the electronic document in one or more display categories by applying a classification rule to the document identifying data, wherein the classification of the electronic document represents a prioritization of the electronic document;
displaying the classified electronic document in the one of the one or more display categories in which it was classified;
receiving a user feedback regarding prioritization of the electronic document; and
updating the classification rule based on the feedback from the user,wherein analyzing the electronic document further comprises analyzing the document using semantical analysis of the document comprising,associating one or more concepts with one or more display categories,extracting the one or more concepts from the electronic document, andpattern matching the one or more extracted concepts with the one or more concepts associated with the one or more display categories.

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.
