Abstract
At least two processing device-implemented company name recognition components, operating upon a body of text in a document, identify at least one company name occurrence in the body of text based at least in part on a company identifier list. The company name recognition techniques implemented by each of the at least two company name recognition components are different from each other. The at least one company name occurrence is used to update the company identifier list. The updated company identifier list is then used by the at least two company name recognition components to identify at least one additional name occurrence in the same body of text. This process of repeatedly identifying occurrences of company names in the body of text and updating the company identifier list is performed until such time that no further company name occurrences are identified in the body of text.
