Claims20
A method for providing a topic map, comprising:
- extracting, by a server, metadata from a first web page and from a second web page, the first web page and the second web page being part of a website;
- determining, by the server, whether a synonymous relationship exists between the metadata extracted from the first web page and from the second web page;
- in response to determining the synonymous relationship fails to exist, generating, by the server, the topic map for the website that lists the first web page corresponding to a first topic and that lists the second web page corresponding to a second topic;
- in response to determining the synonymous relationship exists, determining, by the server, a common topic derived from the synonymous relationship between the metadata;
- generating, by the server, the topic map for the website that includes the common topic and lists the first web page as corresponding to the common topic;
- and
- excluding, by the server, the second web page from the topic map in response to the synonymous relationship,
- wherein the topic map provides a listing of topics associated with the website and corresponding links to web pages of the website where particular topics of content are located in the website, and
- wherein the topic map includes a link to the first web page.

A system for providing a topic map, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores the following storing instructions that when executed cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- extracting metadata from a first web page and from a second web page, the first web page and the second web page being part of a website;
- determining whether a synonymous relationship exists between the metadata extracted from the first web page and from the second web page;
- in response to determining the synonymous relationship fails to exist, generating the topic map for the website that lists the first web page corresponding to a first topic and that lists the second web page corresponding to a second topic;
- in response to determining the synonymous relationship exists, deriving a common topic from the synonymous relationship between the metadata;
- generating the topic map for the website that includes the common topic and lists the first web page as corresponding to the common topic;
- and
- excluding the second web page from the topic map in response to the synonymous relationship,
- wherein the topic map provides a listing of topics associated with the website and corresponding links to web pages of the website where particular topics of content are located in the website, and
