AUTOMATED TAGGING OF OBJECTS IN DATABASES
First Claim
1. A method for automatically generating tag terms for objects in databases of a web site that is automatically created based on a subject, comprisingreceiving a plurality of search terms related to the subject to create the website;
- searching Internet web sites to identify information associated with the plurality of search terms on the Internet web sites to automatically create the web site;
storing an identified information associated with the plurality of search terms as an object to a database of the web site;
processing the identified information to determine which one of the plurality of search terms the identified information is associated with;
automatically generating a tag term for the identified information in the database using the one of the plurality of search terms determined to be associated with the identified information;
processing and parsing any additional metadata of the identified information stored as an object to determine keywords to be used as additional tag terms for the identified information; and
automatically storing the additional tag terms as automatically generated tag terms for the identified information in the database.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for automatically generating tag terms (or tags) for objects in databases of a web site. The metadata of the objects (or data) of the web site are processed and parsed to automatically generate tag terms for the corresponding objects. Information (or data, or content) downloaded from the Internet often comes with metadata, which can exist in titles, description, sources, and authors of the information, etc. The metadata of downloaded information can be process and parsed to generate tag terms for the corresponding objects. The system can automatically generate tag terms for the data, which are stored as objects in the databases, and make the data (or objects) searchable. In addition, the automatically generated tag terms allow associated data to maintain their relationship. For example, data from the same sources, same authors, or same subjects can be identified based on the common tag terms. Automatically generated tag terms enable searching and association of data (or objects) in databases in a web site.

17. A system for automatically generating tag terms for objects in databases of a web site that is automatically created based on a subject, comprising:
-
a search engine for searching information available on Internet based on a plurality of search keywords related to the subject of the web site to enable automatically creating the web site; at least a server for storing objects in the databases of the web site, wherein the objects in the databases are composed of information based on search results identified by the search engine to be associated with the plurality of search keywords; and a server with an algorithm to automatically generate tag terms from metadata of the objects to store in databases along with the objects, wherein the automatically generated tag terms for the objects enable the objects to be searched and to be associated with one another. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
