Guided navigation system
First Claim
1. A method for classifying content, comprising:
- providing a taxonomy containing facets;
associating different intra-document classifiers with the facets in the taxonomy, the different intra-document classifiers defining different separate sections or sub-sections of content within each document that are each separately classified;
receiving, at a computer server, a query;
retrieving, by the computer server, documents responsive to the query;
selecting, by the computer server, different ones of the facets for classifying the retrieved documents;
identifying, by the computer server, the intra-document classifiers associated with the selected facets;
identifying, by the computer server, different individual sections or subsections within the individual retrieved documents corresponding with the identified intra-document classifiers associated with the selected facets;
identifying, by the computer server, any of the identified individual sections or subsections within the individual retrieved documents corresponding with the identified intra-document classifiers that contain similar text or concepts as text or concepts associated with the query and that also have similar text or concepts as text or concepts associated with the selected facets;
providing, by the computer server, any of the individual retrieved documents containing the identified individual sections or subsections as answers to the query; and
wherein a first portion less than all of a particular one of the individual retrieved documents is identified as being one of the identified individual sections or subsections that contains similar text or concepts as text or concepts associated with the query,wherein a second portion less than all of the particular document is not identified being one of the identified individual sections or subsections that contains similar text or concepts as text or concepts associated with the query, andwherein the particular document is provided as at least a part of the answers.

Abstract
A navigation system is used in combination with a data retrieval system to more effectively locate the correct answers or information in search content. The navigation system provides taxonomies that identify different information categories and sub-categories (facets). Classifiers automatically classify the search content by identifying the content corresponding with associated facets. The facets, in conjunction with the associated classifiers, provide robust classification and correlation between both structured and unstructured content. Rules can be used in conjunction with the facets and classifiers to automatically control different navigation operations. The navigation system can also leverage ontologies to dynamically create taxonomies and provides unique facet expansion and intra-document classification operations.

1. A method for classifying content, comprising:
-
providing a taxonomy containing facets; associating different intra-document classifiers with the facets in the taxonomy, the different intra-document classifiers defining different separate sections or sub-sections of content within each document that are each separately classified; receiving, at a computer server, a query; retrieving, by the computer server, documents responsive to the query; selecting, by the computer server, different ones of the facets for classifying the retrieved documents; identifying, by the computer server, the intra-document classifiers associated with the selected facets; identifying, by the computer server, different individual sections or subsections within the individual retrieved documents corresponding with the identified intra-document classifiers associated with the selected facets; identifying, by the computer server, any of the identified individual sections or subsections within the individual retrieved documents corresponding with the identified intra-document classifiers that contain similar text or concepts as text or concepts associated with the query and that also have similar text or concepts as text or concepts associated with the selected facets; providing, by the computer server, any of the individual retrieved documents containing the identified individual sections or subsections as answers to the query; and wherein a first portion less than all of a particular one of the individual retrieved documents is identified as being one of the identified individual sections or subsections that contains similar text or concepts as text or concepts associated with the query, wherein a second portion less than all of the particular document is not identified being one of the identified individual sections or subsections that contains similar text or concepts as text or concepts associated with the query, and wherein the particular document is provided as at least a part of the answers. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5)

6. A guided content navigation system, comprising:
-
a processor configured to; provide a taxonomy containing facets and associate different intra-document classifiers with the facets that define different separate sections or sub-sections of content within individual documents that are each separately classified; receive a query; retrieve documents responsive to the query; select different ones of the facets for classifying the retrieved documents; identify the intra-document classifiers associated with the selected facets; identify different individual sections or subsections within the individual retrieved documents corresponding with the identified intra-document classifiers associated with the selected facets; the processor further configured to identify individual sections or subsections within the retrieved documents corresponding with the intra-document classifiers that contain text corresponding with text in the query and that also contain text corresponding with text representing the selected facets; and wherein a first portion less than all of a particular one of the documents is identified as being one of the individual sections or subsections that contains text corresponding with the text in the query, wherein a second portion less than all of the particular document is not identified being one of the individual sections or subsections that contains text corresponding with the text in the query, and wherein the particular document is provided as at least a part of an answer to the query. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9)
