Techniques for obtaining data from unstructured data for a structured data collection include receiving unstructured data that includes text; identifying an attribute associated with a structured data collection; obtaining at least one of historical data associated with the attribute or additional data associated with a user of the computing system; identifying one or more terms from the unstructured data as being associated with the attribute based on at least one of the historical data or the additional data; and storing the identified one or more terms in a data record of the unstructured data collection.

Obtaining data from unstructured data for a structured data collection

Techniques for processing semi-structured data include receiving semi-structured data, a value of the semi-structured data being associated with a key; identifying a structured data collection, the structured data collection being associated with a category and having a plurality of attributes; obtaining at least one of historical data associated with the plurality of attributes or additional data associated with a user of the computing system; mapping the key to an attribute of the plurality of attributes based on at least one of the historical data or the additional data; and storing the value in a cell of a data record of the structured data collection, the cell being associated with the attribute that was mapped to the key.

Processing semi-structured data

Techniques for disambiguating data using contextual and historical information include determining that data is potentially associated with two or more classifications of a plurality of classifications; obtaining contextual information associated with the data; obtaining historical information associated with a user of the computing system; and determining that the data is more likely associated with one classification of the two or more classifications than other classifications of the two or more classifications based on the contextual information and the historical information.
