1. A method for automatically organizing data into themes, the method comprising the steps of:
- retrieving electronic data from at least one data source;
storing the data in a temporary storage medium;
querying the data from the temporary storage medium using a computer-based query language;
creating and identifying themes automatically within the data using a computer program including a statistical probability based algorithm;
organizing the data into the identified themes based on the content of the data; and
,identifying and predicting the probability of at least one future event.

13. A method for automatically organizing data into themes, the method comprising the steps of:
-
retrieving electronic data from at least one data source; correcting typographical errors in the data; storing the data in a temporary storage medium; querying the data in the storage medium using a computer-based query language; creating and identifying themes automatically within the data stored in the storage medium using a computer program including a statistical probability based algorithm; characterizing the themes based on the level of threat each theme represents; organizing the data stored in the storage medium into the identified themes based on the content of the data; determining the amount a discrete set of data contributed to a specific theme; using a computer-program-based algorithm to identify themes that are at least one of emerging, increasing, or declining; tracking themes over a time period; identifying a plurality of entities that are collaborating on the same theme; determining the roles and relationships between the plurality of entities, including the affinity between the plurality of entities; identifying and predicting the probability of a future event; and
,analyzing the queried data and posting the analysis on a computer database.

14. A computer-based system comprising:
-
electronic data input from a plurality of data sources; a temporary storage medium for storing the electronic data; a computer-based query language tool for querying the data in the storage medium; and
,a computer program including a statistical probability based algorithm for;
(1) creating and identifying themes automatically within the data stored in the storage medium, (2) identifying a plurality of entities that are collaborating on the same theme, (3) determining the roles and relationships between the plurality of entities, and (4) identifying and predicting the probability of at least one future event. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)
