An associative relevancy knowledge profiler may also allow a user to create a profile by modifying or restricting the known reference sets and windowing the results from the association as a user might refine any other analysis algorithms. An associative relevancy knowledge profiler may also be used to define a user profile used by the user and others. A user profile may be usable in various manners depending upon, for example, rights management permissions and restrictions for a user. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A system comprising: at least one user interface module configured to: receive selection of an associative relevancy knowledge profile, and receive selection of at least one data source; a processor configured to cause performance of a discovery process operation on the at least one data source using the associative relevancy knowledge profile to generate results; an association module configured to utilize the results from the discovery process operation as a precompute data source for creating a new associative relevancy knowledge profile to form a multi-layered collection of associative relevancy knowledge profiles, the multi-layered collection of associative relevancy knowledge profiles comprising a plurality of domain expert association constructs among a plurality of known reference sets, wherein the plurality of domain expert association constructs comprise: (i) new, domain expert associations among the plurality of known reference sets; and (ii) at least one viewing preference for presenting the results from the discovery process operation; and a restriction module configured to restrict the associative relevancy knowledge profile by imposing restrictions on the plurality of known reference sets of the associative relevancy knowledge profile. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, further comprising: a preferencing module configured to modify the associative relevancy knowledge profile. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The system of claim 2, wherein the preferencing module is configured to modify the associative relevancy knowledge profile by modifying the plurality of known reference sets before at least one domain expert association construct of the plurality of domain expert association constructs is created. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the user interface module is further configured to receive user input defining the restrictions; and wherein the restriction module is further configured to restrict the associative relevancy knowledge profile based on the user input defining the restrictions. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the discovery process operation comprises a search or evaluation of the at least one data source using the associative relevancy knowledge profile. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The system of claim 5, wherein the processor is further configured to: identify user preferences built into the associative relevancy knowledge profile;
