A method for generating a hierarchical edit script comprises generating, using a first linear sequence of nodes of a first hierarchical dataset and a second linear sequence of nodes of a second hierarchical dataset, a linear edit script defining a linear sequence of operations that can be applied to the first linear sequence to generate the second linear sequence, generating a first delta by matching one or more operations of the linear sequence of operations to the first hierarchical dataset, generating a second delta by matching one or more operations of the linear sequence of operations to the second hierarchical dataset, and generating the hierarchical edit script by merging the first delta and the second delta.

Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in electronic messaging, and other, systems supported by or configured with personal computing devices, servers and/or platforms. The systems interact to identify and retrieve data within or across platforms, which can be used to improve the quality of data used in processing interactions between or among processors in such systems. The disclosed systems and methods provide systems and methods for automatically generating data extraction rules, which can then be used to automatically extract data from electronic messages.

A computer-implemented system or process is programmed or configured to use a configuration file to specify one or more tasks to apply to raw ingested data. A task may be a sequence of instructions programmed or configured to format raw ingested data into a dataset in a CSV format. Examples of tasks may include: a parser to parse Cobol data into a CSV, a parser to parse XML into a CSV, a parser to parse text using fixed-width fields to a CSV, a parser to parse files in a zip archive into a CSV, a regular expression search/replace function, or formatting logic to remove lines or blank lines from raw ingested data. In one embodiment, the configuration file may specify a schema definition for a task to use for generating a dataset. In one embodiment, the configuration file may also include one or more access control list (ACL) definitions for the generated dataset. In one embodiment, the building of datasets using the configuration file is automated, for example, on a nightly basis.

Methods, systems and software include programmatically downloading over the Internet, at routine intervals of time as well as on demand, from an online computer system of the USPTO, data relating to patent properties that are associated with a customer number; and creating a docket based on the downloaded data, generating and displaying a report generated from the downloaded data, sending an alert (email or text message) that is based on the downloaded data, or any combination thereof. Outgoing correspondence of the USPTO is provided in PDF format for review by a user. Data specific to a particular client also is provided to the client programmatically, with reports, alerts, docketing, or any combination thereof, further being provided for use by the client.
