Posting data to a database from non-standard documents using document mapping to standard document types

摘要

A method of populating a database includes receiving a plurality of document images, defining a plurality of standard document types, mapping each of the plurality of document images to one of the plurality of standard document types and processing each document image through a data extraction process. S specific document image's path through the data extraction process is based, at least in part, on the mapping and the data extraction process posts data from each document to the database. The method also includes receiving a request from a user for data contained in the database, selecting the data using the request, and displaying the selected data to the user.
