Integrating information sources to create context-specific documents

摘要

Disclosed are various embodiments for creating a “tailored” document by combining specific parameter values with a generalized document constructed to accept parameter values. The specific parameter values may substitute for default parameter values of the general document, and/or may suggest portions of the general document that can be omitted from the tailored document. Additional specific parameter values may be retrieved by querying available data stores using one or more specific parameter values as criteria in the query. Furthermore, the tailored documents may be correlated to identify symptoms of systemic events that may be collectively reported within the individual tailored documents. For the systemic events that are identified, the tailored documents associated with the event may be modified to incorporate a suggested response in the body of the tailored documents.

1. A method comprising:
identifying, by at least one computing device, parameter metadata associated with constructing one of a plurality of tailored documents from a general document, wherein the parameter metadata comprises a plurality of parameter labels within the general document; obtaining, by the at least one computing device, a plurality of supplied values associated with the parameter metadata; retrieving, by the at least one computing device, a plurality of retrieved values associated with the parameter metadata, wherein the plurality of retrieved values are determined from the plurality of supplied values and at least one data store; constructing, by the at least one computing device, the one of the plurality of tailored documents from the general document, wherein the plurality of supplied values and the plurality of retrieved values supplant at least a portion of the plurality of parameter labels in a body of the general document; determining, by the at least one computing device, a positive degree of correlation in a subset of the plurality of tailored documents, wherein the subset of the plurality of tailored documents includes multiple tailored documents and the positive degree of correlation indicates that the subset of the plurality of tailored documents are positively correlated by recognizing similarities within the plurality of tailored documents; recognizing, by the at least one computing device, at least one symptom of a systemic event collectively reported within the subset of the plurality of tailored documents that are positively correlated; identifying, by the at least one computing device, a response to the at least one symptom of the systemic event; and modifying, by the at least one computing device, individual ones of the subset of the plurality of tailored documents based at least in part on the response to the at least one symptom of the systemic event.
