Tools and methods for determining semantic relationship indexes

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium encoded with instructions that, when executed on a processor, perform a method of identifying baselines for relationships, the method comprising:

• obtaining, at a computer, a first set of relationships between information atoms, wherein at least one of the information atoms comprises a descriptor of an individual;
• identifying baselines for the first set of relationships;
• obtaining a second set of relationships between the information atoms;
• determining a set of differences between the baselines and the relationships in the second set of relationships;
• identifying a third set of relationships between the set differences and the descriptor;
• and
• associating the differences with the descriptor, based on the third set of relationships.

A characteristic-based server comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• memory containing instructions executed by the processor to perform a method comprising;
• obtaining, at a computer, a first set of relationships between information atoms, wherein at least one of the information atoms comprises a descriptor of an individual;
• identifying baselines for the first set of relationships;
• obtaining a second set of relationships between the information atoms;
• determining a set of differences between the baselines and the relationships in the second set of relationships;
• identifying a third set of relationships between the set of differences and the descriptor;
• and
• associating the differences with the descriptor, based on the third set of relationships.
