Techniques for creating computer generated notes

摘要

Text is extracted from and information resource such as documents, emails, relational database tables and other digitized information sources. The extracted text is processed using a decomposition function to create. Nodes are a particular data structure that stores elemental units of information. The nodes can convey meaning because they relate a subject term or phrase to an attribute term or phrase. Removed from the node data structure, the node contents are or can become a text fragment which conveys meaning, i.e., a note. The notes generated from each digital resource are associated with the digital resource from which they are captured. The notes are then stored, organized and presented in several ways which facilitate knowledge acquisition and utilization by a user.

1. A method for generating notes comprising:
decomposing resources into a plurality of nodes so that each node comprises a data structure including a subject, an attribute, and a bond therebetween; storing the plurality of nodes in a node pool; constructing and storing correlations of linked together nodes of the node pool by at least iteratively adding nodes from the node pool onto an end of a chain of nodes by searching the node pool for a match between an attribute of a chained node and a subject of another unchained node in the node pool; converting the subject, the attribute, and the bond of each node in the node pool into textual objects; organizing the textual objects from a respective node into a textual phrase to define a note; and associating notes from each resource into a corresponding note set.
