System And Method For Document Transformation And Compliance
A system and method for document transformation and compliance is provided. A set of documents for a transfer of real property is accessed by a user. Each document includes one or more data fields each associated with a data field identifier. A data value is received from the user. One of the data fields in one of the documents is identified as associated with the received data value via the data field identifier for that data field. The associated data field is determined to be already populated with a different data value. The different data value is replaced with the received data value. Other data fields associated with a same data field identifier as the data field identifier of the associated data field are identified. The other data fields are populated with the received data value. Compliance checking of the documents is performed.
1 . A system for document transformation and compliance, comprising:
a database to store documents relating to a transfer of real property, each document comprising a plurality of data fields each associated with a data field identifier, wherein the data field identifiers for the same data fields in different documents are the same;
a server comprising a central processing unit, memory, an input port to receive the documents and an output port, wherein the central processing unit is configured to:
access a set of the documents;
receive a data value from a user;
identify one of the data fields in one of the documents in the set associated with the received data value via the data field identifier for that data field;
determine that the associated data field is already populated with a different data value;
replace the different data value with the received data value in the data field of the document;
identify other data fields associated with a same data field identifier as the data field identifier of the associated data field;
populate the other data fields with the received data value; and
perform compliance checking of the documents.
2 . A system according to claim 1 , wherein the central processing unit maintains a log of changes to the data fields.
3 . A system according to claim 2 , wherein the log comprises one or more of a change date, time of change, and confirmation of change acknowledgement.
4 . A system according to claim 1 , wherein the central processing unit identifies an error in at least one of the documents.
5 . A system according to claim 4 , wherein the central processing unit flags the error and generates a notification of the error.
6 . A system according to claim 5 , wherein the central processing unit receives a new data value from the user and replaces the error with the new data value.
7 . A system according to claim 1 , wherein each data field is associated with a data field definition comprising details regarding data values to populate one such data field.
8 . A system according to claim 1 , wherein the central processing unit assigns different access to the documents to different users.
9 . A system according to claim 1 , wherein the central processing unit runs compliance logic on the documents during compliance checking.
10 . A system according to claim 9 , wherein the compliance logic comprises one or more of correctness, completeness c, consistency, and compliance with regulatory requirements.
11 . A method for document transformation and compliance, further comprising:
accessing a set of documents for a transfer of real property that is associated with a transaction identification, wherein each document comprises one or more data fields each associated with a data field identifier;
receiving a data value from a user;
identifying one of the data fields in one of the documents associated with the received data value via the data field identifier for that data field;
determining that the associated data field is already populated with a different data value;
replacing the different data value with the received data value in the data field of the document;
identifying other data fields associated with a same data field identifier as the data field identifier of the associated data field;
populating the other data fields with the received data value; and
performing compliance checking of the documents.
12 . A method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
maintaining a log of changes to the data fields.
13 . A method according to claim 12 , wherein the log comprises one or more of a change date, time of change, and confirmation of change acknowledgement.
14 . A method according to claim 11 , further comprising:
identifying an error in at least one of the documents.
15 . A method according to claim 14 , further comprising:
flagging the error; and
generating a notification of the error.
16 . A method according to claim 15 , further comprising:
receiving a new data value from the user; and
replacing the error with the new data value.
17 . A method according to claim 11 , wherein each data field is associated with a data field definition comprising details regarding data values to populate one such data field.
18 . A method according to claim 11 , further comprising:
assigning different access to the documents to different users.
19 . A method according to claim 11 , further comprising:
running compliance logic on the documents during compliance checking.
20 . A method according to claim 19 , wherein the compliance logic comprises one or more of correctness, completeness c, consistency, and compliance with regulatory requirements.
