Claim One:
1. A system comprising: at least one processor; and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium configured to store instructions executable by the at least one processor, the system further including a record generator configured to cause the at least one processor to receive a plurality of documents associated with a plurality of suppliers, the record generator including an event classifier configured to execute a supplier-independent, event-based classification of each document, to thereby obtain event-classified documents; a supplier query generator configured to query the plurality of documents to obtain potential supplier matches from the plurality of suppliers; a supplier match analyzer configured to analyze each potential supplier match of the potential supplier matches, to thereby obtain supplier matches; and a supplier relevance analyzer configured to relate, for each event-classified document, at least one supplier identified therein to at least one event of the event-classified document, to thereby obtain at lease one supplier-event relationship, and further wherein the supplier relevance analyzer is configured to execute the supplier-event relating using a relevance model derived using a relevance-classified training set and a relevance-related machine learning algorithm, including analyzing a manner and extent of inclusion of the at least one supplier and the at least one event within the event-classified document, individually and in relation to one another, wherein the record generator is further configured to cause the at least one processor to provide at least one supplier-specific data record, based on the at least one supplier event relationship, the at least one supplier-specific data record including the at least one supplier, the at least one event, and a characterization of the relevance of the at least one event to the at least one supplier obtained from the supplier-event relating, and further wherein the system includes a view generator configured to generate a graphical view of the at least one supplier with respect to at least one performance indicator, the at least one performance indicator having a value determined at least in part based on the characterization of the relevance.
