Document link management
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An automated method performed by at least one processor for managing links to documents, the method comprising:
- determining that a link is to be established for a document;
analyzing the document to identify at least one descriptor for the document;
correlating the identified document descriptor with at least one document descriptor in a pre-existing taxonomy of document descriptors;
generating the link for the document, the link stored in memory as a bookmark in a collection of bookmarks of a particular user;
associating the correlated taxonomy document descriptor with the link for the document; and
storing a pointer to the correlated taxonomy document descriptor with the link for the document in the collection of bookmarks based on the association of the identified document descriptor and the correlated taxonomy document descriptor.

Abstract
Document links may be efficiently managed by providing automated techniques for organizing them. In particular implementations, a system and process for automated management of document links may include the ability to determine that a link is to be established for a document and identify at least one descriptor for the document. The system and process may also include the ability to correlate the identified document descriptor(s) with at least one document descriptors in a pre-existing taxonomy of document descriptors and associate the correlated taxonomy document descriptor(s) with a link for the document.

15. A system for managing document links, the system comprising:
-
a memory, the memory adapted to store instructions and data regarding document links; and a processor coupled to the memory, the processor operable, according to the instructions, to; determine that a link is to be established for a document; analyze the document to identify at least one descriptor for the document; correlate the identified document descriptor with at least one document descriptor in a pre-existing taxonomy of document descriptors; generate the link for the document, the link stored as a bookmark in a collection of bookmarks of a particular user; associate the correlated taxonomy document descriptor with the link for the document; and store a pointer to the correlated taxonomy document descriptor with the link for the document in the collection of bookmarks based on the association of the identified document descriptor and the correlated taxonomy document descriptor. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)

19. An article of manufacture comprising a machine-readable medium storing instructions operable when executed by a processor to cause one or more machines to:
-
determine that a link is to be established for a document; analyze the document to identify at least one descriptor for the document; correlate the identified document descriptor with at least one document descriptor in a pre-existing taxonomy of document descriptors; generate the link for the document, the link stored as a bookmark in a collection of bookmarks of a particular user; associate the correlated taxonomy document descriptor with the link for the document; and store a pointer to the correlated taxonomy document descriptor with the link for the document in the collection of bookmarks based on the association of the identified document descriptor and the correlated taxonomy document descriptor. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22)
