Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0068837A1] An automated system (200) and method for creating a topical data structure of documents or other items from an inter-linked system of documents, such as the WEB (114) and/or the Internet. The data structure (110) can then be searched using conventional means information to generate highly relevant results. The system (200) automatically discovers and collects topically relevant information by analyzing each document traversed and determining its topical relevancy prior to addition to the data structure (110). The topical relevancy information can further be used to confine traversal paths that are more likely to be topically relevant.
