Systems and methods for semantic overlay for a searchable space
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, via a network at a first client computer, a plurality of content items from one or more content sources, wherein each of the plurality of content items is a copy of a content item or a reference to a content item;
presenting the plurality of content items in an organizational tool at the first client computer;
receiving a first user'"'"'s interactions with the plurality of content items via the organizational tool, wherein the first user'"'"'s interactions comprise steps to organize the plurality of content items within a first local hierarchy of folders maintained by the organizational tool; and
transmitting the first user'"'"'s interactions, via the network, from the first client computer to a server computer, wherein a policy engine at the server computer determines whether to update a global hierarchy of folders comprising the plurality of content items based on the first user'"'"'s interactions and interactions of at least one other user.

Abstract
The embodiments of the present invention provide a novel way of searching and interacting with content available via a network, such as the Internet, and the World Wide Web. In some embodiments, systems and methods provide a semantically-oriented structure for organizing and accessing content items. The semantic organization can be derived by leveraging user interactions with the content items. The systems and methods leverage the semantics of the content items and to help the user find content items that are consistent with the purpose of the user'"'"'s search. In addition, the embodiments provide a novel navigation paradigm of search results and content items so that the user can more intuitively and more efficiently get information form an information space.
