Abstract

A tags rank can be created based on the rank of other objects in a system. The tag rank can be used to determine a font size of tags displayed to a user.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

associating users with tags; and

using connections between the tags and users to determine rank values for the users.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein a user is associated with tags because the tags are written by the user.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein searches use the rank values of the users in the calculations.

4. A computer-implemented method comprising:

associating users with tags; and

using connections between the tags and users in a search for users.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 4, wherein a user is associated with tags because the tags are written by the user.

6. A computer-implemented method comprising:

associating objects with users; and

using connections between the user and objects to classify the users.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein objects include documents.

8. The method of claim 6, wherein objects include tags.

9. The method of claim 6, wherein objects include other users.

10. The method of claim 6, wherein users are classified as experts.

11. A computer-implemented method comprising:

associating tags with objects;

providing multiple filtered view of the objects.

12. The computer-implemented method of claim 11, wherein one filtered view is a group view.

13. The computer-implemented method of claim 11, wherein one filtered view is a personal view.

14. The computer-implemented method of claim 11, wherein one filtered view is a full view.

15. A computer-implemented comprising:

associating tags with objects; and

aggregating other users tags into custom views.

16. A computer-implemented method comprising:

searching objects with search terms; and

returning experts based on association with the objects.

17. The computer-implemented method of claim 16, wherein the objects include tags associated with the user.

18. A computer-implemented method comprising:

creating a tag rank based on the rank of other objects in a system;

using the tag rank to determine a font size of a tag display.

19. The computer-implemented method of claim 18, wherein the display of tags is a tag cloud.

20. The computer-implemented method of claim 18, wherein the display is provided in response to a search.

21. The computer-implemented method of claim 18, wherein the rank is determined using a matrix equation.

22. The computer-implemented method of claim 18, wherein the tags are shown associated with documents.
