1. A non-transitory computer readable medium including code that is executed by a computer system comprising one or more processors, a main memory, a secondary storage, a communications bus, one or more input or output devices, and a network interface to perform a method of managing relevance of a plurality of project description (PD) documents with respect to a plurality of request for proposal (RFP) documents, said plurality of PD documents stored in a data store, the method comprising: receiving using at least one of said input devices, said communications bus, or said network interface an RFP document; creating using said one or more processors an RFP-document decomposition by decomposing said RFP document into RFP segments; establishing using said one or more processors hierarchical relationships for said RFP-document decomposition comprising contains-as-a-segment relationships, is-a-segment-of relationships, or both said relationships between said RFP document and said RFP segments; determining using said one or more processors a PD-document-to-RFP-segment relevance for a PD document from said plurality of PD documents and said RFP segments using document similarity processing and a metric, wherein said determining said PD-document-to-RFP-segment relevance comprises creating a relevance matrix R 1 of dimensions 1 by M, where M is a number of said RFP segments, and populating each element R 1 [1, m] of said relevance matrix R 1 with a relevance value produced by said document similarity processing and said metric that represents a similarity of said PD document to a corresponding RFP segment m of said RFP segments; aggregating using said one or more processors said PD-document-to-RFP-segment relevance by said hierarchical relationships for said RFP-document decomposition to produce a PD-to-RFP relevance, wherein said aggregating comprises performing a summation by said dimension M of said element R 1 [1, m] relevance values of said relevance matrix R 1 ; and transmitting using at least one of said output devices, said communications bus, or said network interface said PD-to-RFP relevance, said PD-document-to-RFP-segment relevance, or both said relevances to an originator of said RFP document.

The computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein managing the relevance of the plurality of PD documents with respect to a plurality of RFP documents further comprises: associating using said one or more processors an attribute with one or more documents comprising said plurality of PD documents, said plurality of RFP documents, or both said pluralities, wherein said attribute denotes ownership of said one or more documents by a party; and communicating using said one or more processors and at least one of said input devices, said output devices, said communications bus, or said network interface information relating to said relevance between a first party associated with a document from said plurality of PD documents and a second party associated with a document from said plurality of RFP documents.
