LEVERAGING STRUCTURED DATA TO RANK UNSTRUCTURED DATA

Abstract:

A system, computer program product, and method are presented for leveraging structured data and unstructured data, and, more specifically, to ranking documentation from unstructured data sources through leveraging insights provided by the structured data to facilitate associated business risk inquiries. The method includes identifying, by researching subject business entities, one or more structured data sources that include relevant structured data directed to the subject business entities. The method also include extracting the relevant structured data directed toward the subject business entities and leveraging the relevant structured data to identify unstructured data sources. The method further includes identifying documents from the unstructured data sources that have relevant information, thereby identifying relevant unstructured data, and leveraging the relevant structured data to determine relationships with the relevant unstructured data. The method also includes scoring each relationship and ranking each document from the unstructured data sources as a function of the scoring.
