METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COLLECTING AND DISSEMINATING INFORMATION OVER A COMPUTER NETWORK
First Claim
1. A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to be executed by a processor, the code comprising code to cause the processor to:
- receive, at a topic extraction module implemented in at least one of a memory or a processing device, a signal representing a plurality of content published within a computer network and retrieved by a spider engine;
identify, at the topic extraction module, first content (1) from the plurality of content, (2) authored by a party from a plurality of parties, (3) published within the computer network by a first publisher, and (4) associated with a predetermined topic;
identify, at the topic extraction module, second content (1) from the plurality of content, (2) authored by the party, (3) published within the computer network by a second publisher different than the first publisher, and (4) associated with the predetermined topic;
quantify an assessment identifier associated with the party and the predetermined topic based on both the first content and the second content; and
send, to a compute device, a signal representing the assessment identifier.

16. A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to be executed by a processor, the code comprising code to cause the processor to:
-
receive, at a topic extraction module implemented in at least one of a memory or a processing device, a signal representing a plurality of content published within a computer network and retrieved by a spider engine; identify, at the topic extraction module, first content (1) from the plurality of content, (2) authored by a first party, (3) published within the computer network, and (4) associated with a predetermined topic; identify, at the topic extraction module, second content (1) from the plurality of content, (2) authored by a second party, (3) published within the computer network, and (4) associated with the predetermined topic; quantify a first assessment identifier associated with both the first party and the predetermined topic based on the first content; quantify a second assessment identifier associated with both the second party and the predetermined topic based on the second content; compare the first party relative to the second party based on the first assessment identifier and the second assessment identifier to produce a comparison order, the comparison order being associated with the predetermined topic; and send, to a compute device, a signal representing the comparison order. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
