GUIDED NAVIGATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method for classifying content, comprising:
- receiving both structured and unstructured content;
providing a taxonomy having facets associated with different subject categories;
using a structured classifier to classify the structured content with one of the facets; and
using a unstructured classifier to classify the unstructured content with the facet.

Abstract
A navigation system is used in combination with a data retrieval system to more effectively locate the correct answers or information in search content. The navigation system provides taxonomies that identify different information categories and sub-categories (facets). Classifiers automatically classify the search content by identifying the content corresponding with associated facets. The facets, in conjunction with the associated classifiers, provide robust classification and correlation between both structured and unstructured content. Rules can be used in conjunction with the facets and classifiers to automatically control different navigation operations. The navigation system can also leverage ontologies to dynamically create taxonomies and provides unique facet expansion and intra-document classification operations.

19. A method for building taxonomies in a document navigation system, comprising:
-
identifying one or more taxonomy categories for classifying content received back from a query;
automatically building taxonomy sub-categories from a portion of an existing ontology to provide sub-classifications of the identified taxonomy categories; and
using the taxonomy categories and built taxonomy sub-categories to automatically classify the content received back from the query. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22)
