ESTABLISHING DOCUMENT RELEVANCE BY SEMANTIC NETWORK DENSITY
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for establishing document relevance by semantic network density, the computer implemented method comprising:
- responsive to receiving a search query, identifying one or more semantic networks containing nodes matching one or more terms in the search query;
determining an edge density for each node matching a term in the search query;
calculating a relevancy score for each of the one or more semantic networks based on the edge densities of the nodes matching a term in the search query; and
determining a relevancy, to the search query, of a document associated with the one or more semantic networks based on the relevancy score.

Abstract
A computer implemented method, data processing system, and computer program product for establishing document relevance by semantic network density. When a search query is received, one or more semantic networks are identified which contain nodes matching one or more terms in the search query. An edge density is determined for each node matching a term in the search query. A relevancy score is then calculated for each of the one or more semantic networks based on the edge densities of the nodes matching a term in the search query. Based on the relevancy score, the relevancy to the search query of a document associated with the one or more semantic networks may then be determined.

9. A data processing system for establishing document relevance by semantic network density, the data processing system comprising:
-
a bus; a storage device connected to the bus, wherein the storage device contains computer usable code; at least one managed device connected to the bus; a communications unit connected to the bus; and a processing unit connected to the bus, wherein the processing unit executes the computer usable code to identify one or more semantic networks containing nodes matching one or more terms in a search query in response to receiving the search query, determine an edge density for each node matching a term in the search query, calculate a relevancy score for each of the one or more semantic networks based on the edge densities of the nodes matching a term in the search query, and determine a relevancy, to the search query, of a document associated with the one or more semantic networks based on the relevancy score. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)
