In monitoring changes to a document corpus, a document system extracts elements from a plurality of documents in the document corpus by the document system and establishes links between the elements to form an initial set of inter-document relationships for the plurality of documents in the document corpus by the document system. When a new document is added to the document corpus, the document system extracts a new set of elements from the new document by the document system and compares the new set of elements with the elements corresponding to the plurality of documents in the document corpus. The document system determines whether any existing inter-documents relationships in the initial set of inter-document relationships is changed by the new document, and responsive to determining that a given existing inter-document relationship is changed, modifies the given existing inter-document relationship based on the change.
