1. A computerized method comprising:
- receiving, with a multimedia database system, influence information associated with a plurality of artists, the influence, information comprising data that represents influence relationships between pairs of the plurality of artists;
generating a graph from the influence information, the graph comprising nodes and edges, wherein each node represents an artist, and wherein a pair of nodes is coupled with a directed edge, the directed edge represents an influence of a first artist represented by a first node on a second artist represented by second node;
computing a magnitude of an artist influence data for each of the artists by propagating the influence information among the nodes in the graph, wherein the artist influence data includes information for an artist that influences another artist when the corresponding nodes are not coupled by a directed edge; and
ordering the plurality of artists according to the artist influence data for each artist.

Abstract
A graph of nodes and edges is used to represent artist influence between different artists. Each node of the graph represents an artist. An edge between two nodes represents an influence relationship between two artists. The relative influence between artists is computed for the artists represented in the graph. Furthermore, the artists are ordered based on the computed influence.

13. A system comprising:
-
a processor; a memory coupled to the processor though a bus; and a process executed from the memory by the processor to cause the processor to receive influence information associated with a plurality of artists, the influence information comprising data that represents influence relationships between pairs of the plurality of artists, to generate a graph from the influence information, the graph comprising nodes and edges, wherein each node represents an artist, and wherein a pair of nodes is coupled with a directed edge, the directed edge representing an influence of a first artist represented by a flat node on a second artist represented by second node, to use the graph to compute a magnitude of an artist influence data rot each of the artists by propagating the influence information among the nodes in the graph, wherein the artist influence data includes information for at an artist that influences another artist when the corresponding nodes are not coupled by a directed edge, and to order the plurality of artists according to the artist influence data for each artist. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
