Digital Resources Searching and Mining through Collaborative Judgment and Dynamic Index Evolution

Summary

It introduces a new system, which utilizes collective intelligence, evaluation, and judgment, including web intelligence, to create and adapt the content of a generalized index hierarchy for digital resources to be searched. Digital resources to be searched can be stored and managed as a localized or distributed repository of images, video, audio, graphical or other multimedia data objects, as well as structured composite items, services, programs, modules, files, documents, systems, applications, networked peers, and agents, which may be difficult or costly to be indexed. In particular, the invention focuses on the indexing of semantic contents and/or pragmatic characteristics of such digital resources.

Technology Benefits

Improve ranking and searching of digital resources by incorporating human intelligence through dynamic index evolution.

Technology Application

Web search, personal/local search, community search, broad-based or vertical search engines for internet, intranet, extranet or particular knowledge domains

Detailed Technology Description

By tracking and analyzing the searching behavior of users, proxies, and/or meta-search-engines, a search index can be created, tuned, improved and optimized. This method also incorporates an adaptive and evolution mechanism which allows relevant digital resources.
