Abstract:
A system that may be used to generate documents and for broader uses such as assembling computer-processable components into computer-processable end products. In one form, the system is a document generation system having an assembly facility configured to be coupled to an origination platform; a knowledge base configured to be coupled to the assembly facility and to store objects in an object-relational hierarchy; and a content management system configured to be coupled to the knowledge base, where the content management system is configured to include an object and a rule. The system may be configured to interact with a knowledge base to create a first set of end products, each end product containing an object; apply precedence to the first set of end products; extract rules from the knowledge base; and assemble a second set of documents based upon applying precedence and rules.
