Abstract

A computer-implemented method and system for identifying terms in a document in electronic form which includes: obtaining a document having title cased terms and defined terms; determining the location of each title cased term; accessing a library; comparing the title cased terms to the library of predetermined terms, wherein the title cased term is classified by a first predetermined identifier if the title cased term is not in the library, and wherein the title cased term is not classified by the first predetermined identifier if the title cased term is in the library; and determining each title cased term which is a defined term and a location and frequency of each defined term, wherein each defined term having a frequency value greater than one is reclassified by a second predetermined identifier and wherein each defined term having a frequency value of one is reclassified by a third predetermined identifier.
