| 20080201320 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SEARCHING ANNOTATED DOCUMENT COLLECTIONS - Methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture therefor, are disclosed sharing and searching annotated document collections. In one embodiment, the method may be performed by: transforming a plurality of document identifiers and their associated set of tags into a set of URL/TAG pairs; constructing a bigraph using the set of URL/TAG pairs; using the bigraph to compute tag profiles and document profiles using spreading activation for document identifiers and tags in the set of URL/TAG pairs; for a selected tag or document, identifying a tag profile or a document profile associated with the selected tag or document, respectively; arranging by relevance those tags or documents in the identified tag profile or document profile associated with the selected tag or document, respectively. | 08-21-2008 |
| 20080201632 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ANNOTATING DOCUMENTS - Methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture therefor, are disclosed for annotating documents. An embodiment for annotating documents may be performed by the method of: retrieving a document selected for display by a user; locating sub-document elements in content of the retrieved document; computing a similarity measure for each of the located sub-document elements; identifying similarity measures of annotated sub-document elements and the located sub-document elements that indicate a correspondence there between; augmenting the located sub-document elements of the retrieved document with annotations of those annotated sub-document elements that have comparable similarity measures; displaying the retrieved document augmented with annotations. | 08-21-2008 |
| 20080201651 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ANNOTATING DOCUMENTS USING A VIEWER - Methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture therefor, are disclosed for annotating documents in a viewer. In one embodiment, the method includes: associating the document with a user; identifying one or more sub-document elements in the document; augmenting the document by making words within the document selectable; displaying the augmented document in the viewer; and responsive to each user input selecting a word in the document displayed in the viewer, further augmenting the document displayed in the viewer by inserting the selected word following the sub-document element from which the word was selected. | 08-21-2008 |
| 20100011281 | SYSTEMS AND MEHTODS FOR ANNOTATING PAGES OF A 3D ELECTRONIC DOCUMENT - To annotate a three-dimensional electronic document, a user specifies, on a two-dimensional screen, a portion of a page of a three-dimensional document as a specified page area to be annotated by making a stroke. The annotation may be displayed to the user by a hybrid technique where the annotation is displayed by a 3D polyline segment placed behind the near clipping plane of a virtual camera frustum. At the same time, previous annotations are displayed by another technique, such as, for example, the texture coloring technique. During the intermittent time between the stroke and another stroke the 3D polyline segment is removed from behind the near clipping plane and the page texture is updated with the annotation data. The display techniques support highlighting annotations, free-form annotations, and text annotations. | 01-14-2010 |
| 20100057716 | System And Method For Providing A Topic-Directed Search - A system and method for providing a topic-directed search is provided, which advantageously harnesses user-provided topical indexes and an ability to characterize indexes according to how articles fall under their topical organizations. A corpus of articles and an index that includes topics from the articles is maintained. For each topic, a coarse-grained topic model is built, which includes the characteristic words included in the articles relating to the topic and scores assigned to the characteristic words. A search query is executed against the index. The topics that match the search terms are chosen by their scores. The topics that match the coarse-grained topic models and the articles corresponding to the search query are presented. In contrast to conventional search engines, search results are organized according to topic and search results can be offered across multiple indexes, where part of returned results are selected from most-relevant indexes with their most-relevant topics. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100274790 | System And Method For Implicit Tagging Of Documents Using Search Query Data - A computer-implemented system and method for implicit tagging of documents using search query data is provided. A corpus of documents including electronically-stored digital data is identified. A search query including one or more query terms from a user is received. The search query is executed against the document corpus. Search results including an identifier for each of the documents in the corpus that matches at least one of the query terms are obtained. A selection of one or more of the identifiers by the user is captured. A set of click-through tags that each include the user, one of the selected identifiers, and the matching query terms is created. | 10-28-2010 |
| 20110153646 | System And Method For Triaging Of Information Feeds - A system and method for triaging of information feeds is provided. A plurality of information feeds are received. At least one topic is identified from each information feed. At least one topic is presented to a user in topic facet including a plurality of identified topics. A selection of one of the plurality of topics is received from the user. The user interface is updated to display only the feeds that contain the selected topic. | 06-23-2011 |
