Abstract
The invention provides a method, system, and program product for processing an electronic document. In one embodiment, the invention includes determining a procedure applicable to the electronic document; defining at least one step of the procedure; in the case that the at least one step includes a plurality of steps, determining an order of the plurality of steps; determining whether the at least one step applies to the electronic document; applying an algorithm for carrying out the at least one step; applying a completion algorithm; determining whether the procedure includes an additional step for which an algorithm has not been applied; and in the case that the procedure includes an additional step for which an algorithm has not been applied: determining whether the additional step applies to the electronic document; applying an algorithm for carrying out the additional step; and applying a completion algorithm.
