, Description:Technical Field of the Invention
The present disclosure relates generally to knowledge networking, and to semantics enabled knowledge networking.
Background of the Invention
Human intelligence and knowledge are becoming increasingly digitized. Not only is information and data generated and created digitized form, frequently, knowledge, information, and other forms of intellectual content are increasingly distributed, disseminated, collected, shared, and/or edited in digitized form.
Traditional formats of knowledge dissemination via books and magazines continue albeit various efforts exist to create digital formats of existing books and magazines that are accessible via the Internet through channels such as online libraries with public or restricted (e.g., subscription-based access). Furthermore, scientific publications and research journals are becoming predominantly accessed by scholars and researchers via online channels since they are typically available sooner than their hardcopy counterparts. Online dictionaries, encyclopaedia’s, wikis (e.g., Wikipedia), have become an integral source of many formal and informal education processes.
Object of the Invention
The object of the present invention is systems, methods, techniques and strategies related to knowledge sharing via a web-based networking environment to leverage collective intelligence are described here.
Summary of the Invention
In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a system, of identifying subject matter embodied in a piece of intellectual content. One embodiment includes analysing classified content spreading a plurality of subject matter categories in a knowledge database with a pre-determined structure. The pre-determined structure can provide structured information regarding the plurality of subject matter categories and one or more sub-categories of the subject matter categories. In addition, the knowledge database may include a plurality of intellectual content comprising one or more of articles, documents, and/or data categorized as at least one of a subject matter category of the plurality of subject matter categories and one subcategory of the one or more sub-categories. The embodiment further includes determining a set of statistical classification rules for identifying intellectual content having an indication of embodying a particular subject matter of the plurality of subject matter categories.
In one embodiment, the piece of intellectual content is analyzed via a Bayesian classification process and estimating a probability that the piece of intellectual content embodies one or more subject matters of the plurality of subject matter categories. In addition, the Bayesian classification process is performed in a hierarchical fashion. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the hierarchical fashion is carried out via determining whether the piece of intellectual content embodies a sub-category of a particular subject matter category of the plurality of subject matter categories, when the piece of intellectual content is determined to embody the particular subject matter. One embodiment further includes identifying one or more subject category tags in the piece of intellectual content based on the embodied subject matter.
In another aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a system, of responding to a search query. One embodiment includes receiving a request to generate a set of search results based on a search query provided by a user and identifying the set of search results comprising a set of objects, the set of objects to be identified from a least a portion of a plurality of objects in a web-space, a specific object of the set of objects to have at least one semantic relationship with the search query. The specific object of the set of objects can be within a predetermined degree of separation from the user. One embodiment includes determining a degree of separation between the user and one or more
The present disclosure includes systems which perform these methods, including processing systems which perform these methods, and computer readable media which when executed on processing systems cause the systems to perform these methods.
Other features of the present disclosure will be apparent from the accompanying drawings and from the detailed description.
Brief description of Drawings:
FIG. 1 depicts a block diagram of the components of a host server for a knowledge networking environment, according to one embodiment.
Detailed Description of Invention:
In the example of FIG. 1, the host server includes the image server or a combination of image servers to manage images, photographs, animation, and/or other types of image data. The image server is any web server software suitable for delivering messages to facilitate efficacious retrieval of image data in web servers to be provided to other components and/or systems of the host server, for example when rendering a web page with images. In addition, the image server can facilitate streaming data such as streaming images and/or video. The image server can be configured separately or together with the web application server, depending on a desired scalability of the host server. Examples of graphics file formats that can be managed by the image server include but are not limited to, ADRG, ADRI, AI, GIF, IMA, GS, JPG, JP2, PNG, PSD, PSP, TIFF, and/or BMP, etc.
The application server can be any combination of software agents and/or hardware modules for providing software applications to end users, external systems and/or devices. The application server can facilitate interaction and communication with the web application server, or with other related applications and/or systems. The application server can in some instances, be wholly or partially functionally integrated with the web application server. The web application server is any combination of software agents and/or hardware modules for accepting Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) requests from end users, external systems, and/or external client devices and responding to the request by providing the requestors with web pages, such as HTML documents and objects that can include static and/or dynamic content (e.g., via one or more supported interfaces, such as the Common Gateway Interface (CGI), Simple CGI (SCGI), PHP, Java Server Pages (JSP), Active Server Pages (ASP), ASP.NET, etc.).
In addition, a secure connection, SSL and/or TLS can be established by the web application server. In some embodiments, the web application server renders the web pages having graphic user interfaces of the networking environment
In the example of FIG. 1, the host server includes components coupled to one another and each component is illustrated as being individual and distinct. However, in some embodiments, some or all of the components, and/or the functions represented by each of the components can be combined in any convenient or known manner. Furthermore, the functions represented by the devices can be implemented individually or in any combination thereof, in hardware, software, or a combination of hardware and software.
