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 first directed graph from the influence information, the first directed graph comprising nodes and edges, where each node represents an artist, and where a pair of nodes is coupled with a directed edge, the directed edge representing an influence of a first artist represented by a first node on a second artist represented by a second node;
computing artist influence data for each of the artists, where the computing uses the first directed graph and 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
generating, with a multimedia database system, a second directed graph using the first directed graph and the artist influence data.

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, a weighted artist influence graph is generated based on the computed influences.

11. An apparatus comprising:
-
means for receiving influence information associated with a plurality of artists, the influence information comprising data that represents influence relationships between pairs of the plurality of artists; means for generating a first directed graph from the influence information, the first directed graph comprising nodes and edges, where each node represents an artist, and where a pair of nodes is coupled with a directed edge, the directed edge representing an influence of a first artist represented by a first node on a second artist represented by a second node; means for computing artist influence data for each of the artists, where the computing uses the first directed graph and 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 means for generating a second directed graph using the first directed graph and the artist influence data. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 23)

16. A system comprising:
-
a processor; a memory coupled to the processor through 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 first directed graph from the influence information, the first directed graph comprising nodes and edges, where each node represents an artist, and where a pair of nodes is coupled with a directed edge, the directed edge representing an influence of a first artist represented by a first node on a second artist represented by a second node, to compute artist influence data for each of the artists, where the computing uses the first directed graph and 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 to generate a second directed graph using the first directed graph and the artist influence data. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 24)
