Abstract
A system and method for receiving, analyzing, and managing key information extracted from input documents in multiple document genres. A document “genre” is the social environment that defines the document's expected structure and content. Information is extracted from the input documents based on their genre, and is synthesized into a distributed genre document, or database, representing all extracted information from all input documents. An output document having a selected genre is created by assembling information from the database consistent with the selected genre.
