Abstract
In one embodiment, a data processing method comprises using a computer, receiving a first electronic document, wherein the first electronic document is structured according to a document structure, contains a plurality of content elements separate from the document structure, and contains a plurality of field identifiers and field values; using the computer, generating, based only upon the document structure and not using the content elements, a fingerprint value for the first electronic document; using the computer, determining whether the fingerprint value is in a stored fingerprint map of known fingerprint values; using the computer, when the fingerprint value is in the fingerprint map, retrieving a final template and a document parser that are associated with the fingerprint value, parsing the first electronic document using the document parser to identify the field identifiers and field values, and storing the field values in a record in a database; using the computer, when the fingerprint value is not in the fingerprint map, creating and storing a new final template for the first electronic document, wherein the new final template comprises field labels corresponding to the f…
