Content Category Scoring for Nodes in a Linked Database
First Claim
1. An information retrieval system executing at least one program module for scoring nodes in a linked database based on a plurality of content categories, said nodes including linking nodes and linked nodes, said at least one program module comprising computer-executable instructions for:
- identifying a plurality of linking nodes in the linked database and assigning to each linking node a linking node score for each content category, wherein the linking node score for each content category represents a degree of relevancy of the linking node to the content category;
identifying a plurality of linked nodes in the linked database, the linked nodes being linked to by at least one of the linking nodes; and
assigning to each linked node a content category score for each content category, wherein the content category score for each content category is based on the linking node score for said content category of each linking node that links to the linked node.

Abstract
Systems, methods and computer program products are provided for assigning content category scores to nodes of a linked database. The nodes of the linked database include linking nodes and linked nodes. Each linking node is assigned a linking node score for each content category. The linking node score for each content category represents a degree of relevancy of the linking node to the content category. Each of the linked nodes is linked to by at least one of the linking nodes. Each linked node is assigned a content category score for each content category. The content category score for each content category is based on the linking node score for said content category of each linking node that links to the linked node.
