Abstract
The present invention concerns a method for generating sequences of elements from a collection of elements where the sequences generated accord with rules and requirements placed on characteristics of the sequences in general and on characteristics of the individal elements in patricular.
Claims19
A method of generating sequences of elements from a collection of elements from references to and meta-data of said elements stored on a computer readable medium,
- said method utilizing a profile comprising information relating to the profile originator, the profile generation and profile applicability,
- said method mapping sets of element-candidates to sequences, and
- said method mapping elements to sequences from said sets, comprising the steps of:
- utilizing a sequence-template associated with, said sequence-template comprising a set of ideal-elements, arranged in a sequence specified by the profile originator in connection with the profile generation,
- identifying element-candidates by, for each specifying ideal-element in turn, generating a quality-ranked matchlist of the totality of elements in the collection of elements,
- generating matchlists by, for each element in the collection of element, calculating a quantifiable distance Δ, representing similarity, between the ideal-element and the first element based on the meta data and applying this step to each element in the collection of elements;
- and
- quality ranking the elements into a matchlist by increasing distance Δ to the ideal-element in question;
- and
- selecting the optimal candidate from each matchlist and placing it in a result-sequence.
An apparatus for generating sequences of elements from a collection of elements from meta-data of said elements stored on a computer readable medium comprising
- means for selection profile profile comprising information relating to the profile generator, the profile generation and profile applicability,
- means by initial profile selection for the sequence generation
- means for mapping sets of element-candidates to sequences, and
- means for mapping elements to sequences from said sets,
- and further comprising:
- means by utilizing a sequence-template attached to the profile, said sequence-template comprising a set of specifying ideal-elements, arranged in a sequence specified by the profile generator in connection with the profile generation,
- means by identifying element-candidates by, for each specifying ideal-element in turn, generating a quality-ranked matchlist of the totality of elements in the collection of elements,
- means by generating matchlists by, for each element in the collection of elements, calculating a quantifiable distance Δ, representing similarity, between the ideal-element and the first element based on the meta data and applying this step to each element in the collection of element;
- and
- quality rank the elements into matchlist by increasing distance Δto the ideal-element in question;
- and
- selecting the optimal candidate from each matchlist and placing it in result-sequence.
