System and method for generating an interlinked taxonomy structure

A method for interlinking differing taxonomies comprising:

• accessing a first corpus having a first plurality of electronic documents categorized in accordance with a first taxonomy with a plurality of nodes;
• accessing a second corpus having a second plurality of electronic documents categorized in accordance with a second taxonomy with a plurality of nodes;
• analyzing said nodes of said first taxonomy, said nodes of said second taxonomy, and at least one of said first plurality of electronic documents and said second plurality of documents, to identify nodes of said second taxonomy that correspond to nodes of said first taxonomy;
• and
• interlinking together said identified nodes of said second taxonomy and said identified nodes of said first taxonomy that correspond with each other.

A computer readable medium with executable instructions for interlinking differing taxonomies comprising:

• instructions for accessing a first corpus having a first plurality of electronic documents categorized in accordance with a first taxonomy with a plurality of nodes;
• instructions for accessing a second corpus having a second plurality of electronic documents categorized in accordance with a second taxonomy with a plurality of nodes;
• instructions for analyzing said nodes of said first taxonomy, said nodes of said second taxonomy, and at least one of said first plurality of electronic documents and said second plurality of documents, to identify nodes of said second taxonomy that correspond to nodes of said first taxonomy;
• and
• instructions for interlinking together said identified nodes of said second taxonomy and said identified nodes of said first taxonomy that correspond with each other.
