Taxonomy editor
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a processor; and
a taxonomy editor configured to execute on the processor to generate a visual representation of a taxonomy associated with a set of scientific papers, the taxonomy editor comprising;
a properties module configured to identify one or more properties relating to an individual node of the taxonomy, the one or more properties reflecting a number of scientific papers assigned to the individual node in recent years;
a statistics module configured to determine a trend relating to the number of scientific papers assigned to the individual node in recent years; and
a suggestion module configured to utilize the one or more properties and the trend to, in at least one instance when the individual node is not a leaf node and the trend indicates that the number of scientific papers assigned to the individual node in recent years is decreasing, provide a suggested modification to a user to collapse at least two children leaf nodes of the individual node into the individual node and cause the individual node to become a leaf node of the taxonomy.

Abstract
This patent application relates to taxonomy editing. One implementation involves a taxonomy editor configured to generate a visual representation of a taxonomy associated with a set of scientific papers. The taxonomy editor includes a properties module configured to identify properties relating to an individual node of the taxonomy and a statistics module configured to determine trends relating to the individual node. The taxonomy editor further includes a similarity module configured to evaluate keyword similarity relative to individual scientific papers associated with the individual node. The taxonomy editor also includes a suggestion module configured to utilize the properties, the trends and the keyword similarity to identify potential modifications to the taxonomy. The taxonomy editor is further configured to present at least some of the potential modifications, the properties, the trends, and the keyword similarity concurrently with the visual representation of the taxonomy.

9. A computer-readable storage device having instructions stored thereon that when executed by a computing device cause the computing device to perform acts, the acts comprising:
-
providing a navigable visual representation of a taxonomy, the navigable visual representation reflecting a plurality of nodes of the taxonomy that have associated publications; generating statistics associated with an individual node of the taxonomy, the statistics reflecting a trend in a number of the publications associated with the individual node in recent years; and facilitating user modification of the taxonomy, the facilitating comprising; determining that the trend indicates that the number of publications associated with the individual node in recent years is increasing; and responsive to determining that the trend indicates that the number of publications associated with the individual node in recent years is increasing, providing, to a user, a suggested modification to split the individual node by adding at least two nodes to the taxonomy as children of the individual node. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method comprising:
-
providing a navigable visual representation of a taxonomy, the navigable visual representation reflecting a plurality of nodes of the taxonomy that have associated publications; generating statistics associated with an individual node of the taxonomy, wherein the statistics reflect a recent trend in a number of publications that are associated with the individual node; and facilitating user modification of the taxonomy, the facilitating comprising; determining that the recent trend is an increasing trend that indicates that the number of publications that are associated with the individual node is increasing, determining that there are a relatively large number of publications associated with the individual node, and responsive to determining that the trend is an increasing trend and that there are a relatively large number of publications associated with the individual node, displaying, on the navigable visual representation, a suggested modification to split the individual node by adding at least two nodes to the taxonomy as children of the individual node, wherein at least the facilitating is performed by a computing device. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)
