EDGAR Contract Extraction Process

A EDGAR Contract Extraction Process is a data extraction process that retrieves and processes material contracts from the SEC EDGAR database.

• AKA: SEC Filing Contract Extraction Process, EDGAR Document Mining Process, Material Contract Harvesting Process.
• Context:
  • It can typically parse EDGAR filing structures to locate exhibit documents.
  • It can typically filter material contract exhibits from other filing attachments.
  • It can often handle multiple file formats including HTML filings and PDF attachments.
  • It can often process batch filing archives for bulk extraction.
  • It can range from being a Manual EDGAR Contract Extraction Process to being an Automated EDGAR Contract Extraction Process, depending on its automation level.
  • It can range from being a Single-Filing EDGAR Extraction Process to being a Bulk EDGAR Extraction Process, depending on its processing scale.
  • It can range from being a Real-Time EDGAR Extraction Process to being a Historical EDGAR Extraction Process, depending on its temporal focus.
  • It can range from being a Selective EDGAR Contract Extraction Process to being a Comprehensive EDGAR Contract Extraction Process, depending on its filtering criteria.
  • It can produce Material Contracts Corpus through systematic collection.
  • It can utilize SEC EDGAR APIs for programmatic access.
  • ...
• Examples:
  • Bulk Extraction Processes, such as:
    • Stanford MCC Extraction Pipeline processing 20+ years of filings.
    • EDGAR Daily Archive Processing for continuous updates.
  • Targeted Extraction Processes, such as:
    • M&A Contract Extraction from 8-K filings.
    • Executive Agreement Extraction from DEF 14A proxies.
  • Research-Focused Extractions, such as:
    • ContractNLI NDA Collection from EDGAR search.
    • LEDGAR Provision Extraction for classification datasets.
  • ...
• Counter-Examples:
  • Web Scraping Process, which extracts from general websites rather than EDGAR.
  • Document Upload Process, which receives rather than extracts contracts.
  • Contract Generation Process, which creates rather than extracts agreements.
