1. A method for managing document retrieval and ranking from a system, wherein the method comprises:
- determining explicit metadata of a retrieved document;
extracting intrinsic metadata from inside content of the retrieved document;
determining stored information related to the retrieved document from a document system database;
obtaining information related to the retrieved document from a series of search engines;
wherein the explicit metadata, intrinsic metadata, stored information, and search engine information comprise document information;
constructing static or dynamic user-document relationship rules based on input from a user or an administrator;
establishing a knowledge of a user-document relationship by relating document information to the user'"'"'s information on the document system database;
generating user-document relationships based on the knowledge of a user-document relationship and the static or dynamic user-document relationship rules;
constructing static or dynamic ranking rules based on input from the user or the administrator;
calculating a relevance or ranking score for each of the retrieved documents based on the explicit metadata, intrinsic metadata, and knowledge of user-document relationship, and the static or dynamic ranking rules;
entering a query by a user into the system with a client user module;
constructing a system query by the system based on said entering;
retrieving information about the user by the system;
reconstructing the system query with the user information by the system;
sending the reconstructed system query from the client user module to an application server by the system;
retrieving a document in response to the reconstructed system query by the application server; and
ranking the retrieved document by the application server.

Abstract
A method, article, and system for managing document retrieval and ranking, and more particularly to providing a method, article, and system for utilizing not just the explicit metadata of a retrieved document, but also the extracted intrinsic metadata inside the content of the retrieved document, as well as the knowledge of the user-document relationship by relating the document implicit metadata to the user'"'"'s information on the document'"'"'s system database, as important parameters in calculating relevance or ranking score for retrieved documents.

16. An article comprising one or more machine-readable storage media containing instructions that when executed enable a processor to access a document retrieval and ranking program in a system that comprises computer servers, mainframe computers, desktop computers, and mobile computing devices;
- and
wherein the document retrieval and ranking program facilitates document searches; and wherein the document retrieval and ranking program provides for managing document retrieval and ranking from the system by utilizing not just explicit metadata of a retrieved document, but also extracted intrinsic metadata inside content of the retrieved document, static and dynamic ranking rules constructed from a user'"'"'s information or inputs from the user or an administrator, and knowledge and rules dynamically built on a user and the retrieved document based on the extracted data, and forms a dynamically constructed user-document relationship based on knowledge and rules on the user and the retrieved document by relating document implicit metadata to a user'"'"'s information on a document system database, as important parameters in calculating relevance or ranking score for the retrieved documents. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)

19. A system for managing document retrieval and ranking by utilizing not just explicit metadata of a retrieved document, but also extracted intrinsic metadata inside content of the retrieved document, and knowledge and ranking rules dynamically built on a user and the retrieved document based on the extracted data, and forms a dynamically constructed user-document relationship based on the static relationship rules retrieved from the system or dynamic relationship rules inputted by the administrator, and the knowledge on the user and the retrieved document by relating document implicit metadata to a user'"'"'s information on the systems or databases of the user, retrieved documents and search engines, as important parameters in calculating relevance or ranking score for the retrieved documents, wherein the system comprises computing devices and at least one network;
- and
wherein the computing devices implement the document database; and wherein the computing devices further comprise; computer servers; mainframe computers; desktop computers; and mobile computing devices; and wherein the computing devices execute electronic software that manages the document retrieval and ranking; and wherein the electronic software is resident on a storage medium; and wherein the computing devices have the ability to be coupled to the network; and wherein the network further comprises; a local area network (LAN); a wide area network (WAN); a global network; an Internet; an intranet; wireless networks; and cellular networks. - View Dependent Claims (20)
