ABSTRACT:
A system (10) for recursive document retrieval is provided. An original repository (12) comprises a plurality of documents (14), and a query (16) comprises information by which the original repository (12) can be analyzed to identify relevant documents (14). A retrieval engine (18) is coupled to the original repository (12) and receives the query (16). The retrieval engine (18) is operable to execute an automatic recursive retrieval process with respect to the original repository (12) using the query (16) where the automatic recursive retrieval process comprises a plurality of iterations. The retrieval engine (18) is also operable to provide as system output a retrieved repository (28) comprising a plurality of documents (30) from the original repository (12) identified as sufficiently relevant to the query (16) according to the automatic recursive retrieval process for detection as relevant documents.
