Abstract
According to an example embodiment, a device for providing information regarding database contents includes data storage and a processor associated with the data storage. The processor identifies a database including a plurality of members and feature information regarding at least one feature of the members, respectively. The processor determines at least one categorizing indicator from a source that is external to the database and determines whether there are any associated indicators in the feature information that correspond to the categorizing indicator. The processor identifies the members of the database having the associated indicators and associates the identified members with a category based on the categorizing indicator.

A device for providing information regarding database contents, the device comprising:
- a data storage;
- and
- a processor associated with the data storage, the processor being configured to:
- identify a database including a plurality of members and feature information regarding at least one feature of the members, respectively;
- determine at least one categorizing indicator from a source that is external to the database;
- determine whether there are any associated indicators in the feature information that correspond to the categorizing indicator;
- identify the members of the database having the associated indicators;
- and
- associate the identified members with a category based on the categorizing indicator.
A method of providing information regarding database contents, comprising the steps of:
- identifying a database including a plurality of members and feature information regarding at least one feature of the members, respectively;
- determining at least one categorizing indicator from a source that is external to the database;
- determining whether there are any associated indicators in the feature information that correspond to the categorizing indicator;
- identifying the members of the database having the associated indicators;
- and
- associating the identified members with a category based on the categorizing indicator.
A non-transitory computer readable medium containing a plurality of computer-executable instructions, comprising instructions for:
- identifying a database including a plurality of members and feature information regarding at least one feature of the members, respectively;
- determining at least one categorizing indicator from a source that is external to the database;
- determining whether there are any associated indicators in the feature information that correspond to the categorizing indicator;
- identifying the members of the database having the associated indicators;
