ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method provides application specific multidimensional information to an application running on a user computing device from a plurality of member documents electronically extracted from a library of electronically searchable documents. An information extractor is adapted to extract occurrences of prospective representations of dimensions of application specific multidimensional information and occurrences of non-application specific multidimensional information from the member documents. Also, an encoder is adapted to encode the occurrences of prospective dimensions of application specific and non-application specific multidimensional information contained in member documents. A member document identifier determines document formatting and decides whether to proceed with further processing. An information verification unit optionally verifies the extraction of application specific multidimensional information from the member documents. A database optionally stores and provides access to the application specific multidimensional information, which may for example be scheduled events having dimensions of time, location, identity.
