Two documents are processed to facilitate visual mapping and comparison.
These documents comprise document subsections and the subsections
comprise document subsection headers associated therewith. At least one
of the first document subsection headers is juxtaposed relative to an
output of second document subsection headers mapping thereto, to visually
emphasize a header mapping. This header mapping is established by:
mapping the first document subsections relative to the second document
subsections based on identifying substantial similarities therebetween,
to establish a subsection mapping therebetween; and, in relation to the
subsection mapping and the association between the document subsections
and the subsection headers, further mapping the first document subsection
headers relative to the second document subsection headers. Several
closely-related devices, systems and methods for outputting information
to compare at least two documents, establishing a mapping to compare at
least two documents, and highlighting similar text segments, are also
disclosed.
