System and Method for Data Mining Using Domain-Level Context

A method for data mining using domain-level context information, comprising the steps of:

• executing by a computer system a contextual data mining engine;
• electronically mining, compiling, and processing documents from one or more sources using a document processing module;
• calculating a document-based score for each document using a text analytics module;
• generating and storing one or more contextual ontologies using a contextual ontology module, wherein each contextual ontology comprises a plurality of nodes interconnected by links, each node represents an entity, and each link has one or more corresponding link scores;
• querying for documents of interest by a user using a user query module;
• retrieving documents of interest based on the query;
• and
• presenting the retrieved documents of interest to the user through a visualization interface.

A computer-readable medium having computer-readable instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a computer system, cause the computer system to perform the steps of:

• executing by the computer system a contextual data mining engine;
• electronically mining, compiling, and processing documents from one or more sources using a document processing module;
• calculating a document-based score for each document using a text analytics module;
