Content propagation for enhanced document retrieval
First Claim
1. A method providing computer-implemented content propagation for enhanced document retrieval, the method comprising:
- identifying reference information directed to one or more documents, the reference information being identified from one or more sources of data independent of a data source comprising the one or more documents;
extracting metadata that is proximally located to the reference information;
calculating relevance between respective features of the metadata to content of associated ones of the one or more documents;
for each document of the one or more documents, indexing associated portions of the metadata with the relevance of features from the respective portions into original content of the document; and
wherein the indexing generates one or more enhanced documents.

Abstract
Systems and methods providing computer-implemented content propagation for enhanced document retrieval are described. In one aspect, reference information directed to one or more documents is identified. The reference information is identified from one or more sources of data that are independent of a data source that includes the one or more documents. Metadata that is proximally located to the reference information is extracted from the one or more sources of data. Relevance between respective features of the metadata to content of associated ones of the one or more documents is calculated. For each document of the one or more documents, associated portions of the metadata is indexed with the relevance of features from the respective portions into original content of the document. The indexing generates one or more enhanced documents.
