analyzing the one or more portions of each of the plurality of hierarchical indicators to determine an alphanumerical numbering style associated with each of the plurality of hierarchical indicators; and

determining a hierarchical level for each of the plurality of hierarchical indicators based upon, at least in part, one or more of the alphanumerical value and the alphanumerical numbering style associated with each of the plurality of hierarchical indicators, wherein the hierarchical level indicates a respective position within the hierarchical structure of the document and is determined for a respective hierarchical indicator prior to determining the hierarchical level associated with a following hierarchical indicator;

associating a plurality of elements of the document with a hierarchical level, based upon, at least in part, the determined hierarchical level associated with each of the plurality of hierarchical indicators, wherein associating the plurality of elements of the document with the hierarchical level includes associating meta-data with the plurality of elements of the document, wherein the meta-data indicates the hierarchical level; and

generating a map of the document based upon, at least in part, the hierarchical level associated with each of the plurality of elements of the document, the map including one or more links to one or more elements of the document.

9. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the document includes a legal agreement.
