System and Method for Implementing Metadata Extraction of Artifacts from Associated Collaborative Discussions on a Data Processing System

摘要

System and method for implementing metadata extraction on a data processing system. A natural language processor receives a document and accesses commentary related to the document. In response to accessing commentary related to the document, the natural language processor processes the commentary to generate data structures corresponding to the commentary. Rules are executed on these data structures to generate metadata for the document. The resulting metadata is associated with the document, which can be harnessed by the features of the document management systems to provide additional operations on the document
