System and method of a knowledge management and networking environment
First Claim
1. A method of responding to a search query, comprising:
- receiving a request to generate search results based on the search query provided by a user;
identifying the search results comprising objects based on semantic relationships with the search query,wherein the objects include web-based content added by users to a web-based networking environment to be shared with other users in the networking environment;
wherein, relational attributes of the objects are specified by the users when added to the web-based networking environment, the relational attributes identifying users with permission to share, collect, or book mark the objects;
determining a degree of separation between the user and one or more of the objects; and
providing the search results comprising the objects to the user,the providing of the objects to include an indication of the degree of separation between the user and the one or more of the objects;
automatically recommending additional objects to the user in the networking environment;
wherein, the relational attributes further identifies users with permission to ask a question regarding the object.

Abstract
Systems and methods of a knowledge management networking are disclosed here. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a system, of hosting a web-space having a plurality of objects, the plurality of objects to include one or more of, representations of a set of users, a set of web-items, and a set of nets; wherein a net of the set of nets is a subset of the web-space comprising a sub-plurality of the plurality of objects. One embodiment can include, tracking an explicit relationship between a first set of at least two objects of the set of objects; the explicit relationship to be pre-determined by a user of the set of users, identifying an implicit relationship between a second set of at least two objects of the set of objects; the implicit relationship to be identified based on a semantic relationship between the at least two objects, and determining a default set of privacy rules governing access between the at least two objects based on one or more of the identified explicit relationship and the implicit relationship.

13. A memory unit having stored thereon a set of instructions which when executed causes a method of responding to a search query to be performed, the method comprising:
-
identifying the set of search results comprising a set of objects based on semantic relationships with the search query, the set of objects to be identified from a least a portion of a plurality of objects in a web-space, a specific object of the set of objects to have at least one semantic relationship with the search query, wherein the objects include web-based content added by users to a web-based networking environment to be shared with other users in the web-based networking environment; wherein, relational attributes of the objects are specified by the users when added to the web-base networking environment, the relational attributes identifying users with permission to share and bookmark the objects; wherein the specific object of the set of objects to be within a predetermined degree of separation from the user; determining a degree of separation between the user and one or more objects of the set of the objects; and providing the set of search results comprising the set of objects to the user, the providing of the one or more objects of the set of objects to include an indication of the degree of separation between the user and the one or more objects of the set of the objects; automatically recommending additional objects to the user in the web-based networking environment; wherein, the additional objects are identified for recommendation based on degrees of separation of the user with the additional objects, in the web content in the web-based networking environment. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A system for content recommendation in an online network, the system comprising:
-
means for, determining a degree of separation between the user and objects including web-based content added by users to the online network to be shared with other users in the online network; wherein, relational attributes of the objects are specified by the users when added to the web-based networking environment, the relational attributes identifying users with permission to share and bookmark the objects; means for, tracking browsing history of the user; means for, automatically recommending select content from the objects in the online network to the user, without a search request of the user; wherein, the select content is identified for recommendation based on degrees of separation determined between the user and the objects in the online network; means for, providing the select content to the user, wherein, the providing of the select content includes an indication of the degree of separation between the user and the select content. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22)
