1. A computer-assisted method for detecting content holes, comprising:
- accessing a content body organized into a plurality of concept nodes to which content is selectively pre-tagged before receiving a user query as part of a service interaction,wherein the content body includes a first concept node;
determining a percentage of successful service interactions as a function of concept nodes; and
if the percentage of successful service interactions related to the first concept node is below a predefined threshold, flagging a content hole and presenting an indication of the flagged content hole to a user or a computerized process.

Abstract
In an information retrieval application, a system and method for detecting content holes. A content body is parsed into a plurality of concepts nodes, including a first concept node. A percentage of successful service interactions is determined as a function of concept node and, if the percentage of successful service interactions at the first concept node is below a predefined threshold, a content hole is flagged.

3. A computer-assisted method of charging for services, comprising:
-
determining a percentage of successful service interactions in a first information retrieval system; determining a percentage of successful service interactions for services provided in a second information retrieval system; and billing as a function of the difference between the percentage of successful service interactions in the first information retrieval system and the percentage of successful service interactions for services provided in the second information retrieval system. - View Dependent Claims (4, 10, 11, 12)

5. A computer-readable medium having instructions when executed in a computer, charges for services by:
-
accessing a content body organized into a plurality of concept nodes to which content is selectively pre-tagged before receiving a user query as part of a service interaction, wherein the content body includes a first concept node; determining a percentage of successful service interactions in a first information retrieval system; determining a percentage of successful service interactions for services provided in a second information retrieval system; and billing as a function of the difference between the percentage of successful service interactions in the first information retrieval system and the percentage of successful service interactions for services provided in the second information retrieval system, wherein the billing includes weighting successful interactions as a function of concept nodes.

6. A computer-assisted method for detecting content holes, comprising:
-
(a) accessing a content body organized into a plurality of concept nodes to which content is selectively pre-tagged before receiving a user query as part of a service interaction, wherein the content body includes a first concept node; (b) determining a percentage of successful service interactions (SSIs) as a function of concept nodes; (c) determining a percentage of queries as a function of concept nodes; (d) determining a percentage of documents as a function of concept nodes; (e) computing a content hole score for the first concept node as a function of at least one of (b), (c), and (d); and (f) flagging a content hole if the content hole score is below a predefined threshold and and presenting an indication of the flagged content hole to a user or a computerized process. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 16)
