Abstract
A rules based configurable system efficiently and effectively determines for a given electronically represented text document which linguistic analysis and extraction processes and which application specific processes should be invoked to provide more accurate answers to a user's query. In a rules based classifier, where each category or topic is represented by a set of rules, in an application such as routing, the categorization effecting the routing can be effectively combined with processes extracting other information. This may be in the form of a prompt for the user to input additional information.
