Method and apparatus for providing an ordering metric for a multi-dimensional contextual query
DCFirst Claim
1. A method comprising facilitating a processing of and/or processing (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal, the (1) data and/or (2) information and/or (3) at least one signal based, at least in part, on the following:
- a determination of a multi-dimensional query associated with at least one user device, wherein the multi-dimensional query specifies, at least in part, one or more personas, based, at least in part, on more than one person, associated with the at least one user device;
an execution of the multi-dimensional query on at least one context-sensitive database to generate one or more results; and
a determination of at least one ordering metric for the one or more results based, at least in part, on one or more user contextual attributes of the at least one user device.

Abstract
An approach is provided for providing an ordering metric for a multi-dimensional contextual query. An ordering platform determines a multi-dimensional query associated with at least one user device, wherein the multi-dimensional query specifies, at least in part, one or more personas, one or more contexts, or a combination thereof associated with the at least one user device. The ordering platform further causes, at least in part, an execution of the multi-dimensional query on at least one context-sensitive database to generate one or more results. The ordering platform further determines at least one ordering metric for the one or more results based, at least in part, on one or more user contextual attributes of the at least one user device.

11. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following, determine a multi-dimensional query associated with at least one user device, wherein the multi-dimensional query specifies, at least in part, one or more personas, based, at least in part, on more than one person, associated with the at least one user device; cause, at least in part, an execution of the multi-dimensional query on at least one context-sensitive database to generate one or more results; and determine at least one ordering metric for the one or more results based, at least in part, on one or more user contextual attributes of the at least one user device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
