US 2009/0265631 A1 · SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A USER INTERFACE TO NAVIGATE A COLLECTION OF TAGS LABELING CONTENT

Abstract

An improved system and method for visualizing and navigating a collection of tags labeling content in a user interface is provided. A visualization displaying a categorized subset of related tags may be generated in a user interface from a collection of tags labeling content items. One or more tags may be submitted in a query, a ranked list of related tags may be determined and clustered into categories, and then the clusters of related tags may be sent to a client device for display. A client device may display the categories and the related tags in each category and representative content items labeled by the related tags. The search space of a collection of tags may be refined by adding additional tags to a search query or may be expanded by removing tags from a search query, and an updated visualization may be generated for the requested search scope.
