Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method of data abstraction, the method comprising: abstracting data from a document comprising a contract using a double blind abstraction to create a plurality of abstraction instances having abstracted data representative of contractual obligations from the contract; comparing at least two of the plurality of abstraction instances to identify compliance errors; determining a compliance value based on a number of compliance errors identified; comparing the compliance value to a predetermined compliance threshold; rejecting the at least two abstraction instances and re-initiating abstraction of the document when the compliance value equals or exceeds the predetermined compliance threshold; editing the at least two abstraction instances to correct the identified compliance errors when the compliance value is less than the predetermined compliance threshold; inserting abstraction errors within one of the plurality of abstraction instances to generate a mined abstraction instance; validating a quality of the abstracted data by comparing the document with the mined abstraction instance; and releasing an abstraction instance having at least one abstraction value.
