A computer-implemented method of preparing a set of documents to support information extraction, the method comprising: defining a set of concept categories, said concept categories including at least one of person, company, and geographical location; defining a set of dyadic relations between concepts, said relations including at least one of affiliation, agent, location, and object; defining a set of rules that allow extraction of relations between concepts, said set of rules including a set of category-specific syntactic constructs and a set of lexical constructs that imply a particular relation; receiving a corpus containing documents; parsing the documents to identify concepts by determining phrase boundaries, determining parts of speech, identifying numeric concepts, identifying phrasal verbs, identifying idioms, and identifying proper names in the documents; extracting, by applying the set of rules to the parsed documents, concept-relation-concept triples, referred to as CRCs, from the parsed documents; and incorporating the CRCs into a data organization.
