Computer Method and Apparatus of Information Management and Navigation

Computer information navigation apparatus, comprising:

• a first source of information;
• one or more second sources of information, information from each second source having a parent-child relationship with the first source information, the first source information being parent information;
• a keyword engine responsive to the first and second sources of information, the keyword engine extracting keywords from the first source information and from each of the second sources information in a manner such that, for each extracted keyword, the keyword is related to the first source information and at least one second source information, the keyword engine producing respective groupings of second source information related by keyword;
• and
• an output member coupled to the keyword engine to receive the extracted keywords, the output member displaying to a user a listing of the received keywords in a manner enabling the user to navigate the one or more second sources of information, different keywords in the displayed listing referencing the different respective groupings of second source information.

A computer system managing comment information comprising

• given a main information source and one or more sources of comment information, the comment information being with respect to the main information, the main information being related to each comment information as parent-child, a keyword engine responsive to the main information and the comment information, the keyword engine:
• extracting initial keywords from the main information;
• extracting from the comment information words relating to, but not duplicative of, the initial keywords extracted from the main information;
• and
• adding to a keyword listing the initial keywords and the words extracted from the comment information, such that the keyword listing is formed of automatically generated keywords, each automatically generated keyword dynamically grouping related comment information;
• and
• a user interface coupled to receive the keyword listing from the keyword engine and displaying the keyword listing to a user in a manner enabling the user to manage the comment information based on the automatically generated keywords and dynamic groupings.

A computer program product for managing information comprising.

• a computer useable medium having computer usable program code embodied therewith, the computer useable program code including:
• computer useable program code configured to:
• receive a first source of information and one or more second sources of information, each second source having a parent-child relationship with the first source;
• automatically extract keywords from the first source and each of the second sources in a manner such that, for each extracted keyword, the keyword correlates the first source and at least one second source, resulting in a respective set of second sources for each keyword;
• and
• display to a user a listing of the keywords resulting from the automatic extracting, the displayed listing enabling the user to manage the one or more second sources, different keywords in the displayed listing effectively referencing the different respective sets of second sources.
