Abstract
Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for tagging and searching for content. In some embodiments, a tagging mechanism is provided that allows the creation of tag chains for tagging content. In some embodiments, once the content is tagged, a search tool is provided that allows the search for content, through the search for tag chains.
Claims21
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions which when executed by a computer, cause the computer to implement operations for generating a tag chain using tag calculus, the operations comprising:
- receiving a selection of a category;
- receiving input based at least in part on the selected category, the input comprising content;
- and
- in response to providing a list of tags identifying the content,
- generating a tag chain associated with the content, wherein the tag chain is a composite object representing a grouping of related tags, and wherein generating the tag chain comprises:
- receiving input of a set of tag calculus relationship operators identifying relationships among at least a subset of the list of tags, wherein each relationship operator defines a link between a tag and at least one other tag within the subset of the list of tags;
- and
- generating the tag chain comprising the related subset of the list of tags and the set of tag calculus relationship operators identifying the relationships among the subset of the list of tags.
A computer-implemented method for generating a tag chain using tag calculus, the method comprising:
- receiving a selection of a category;
- receiving input based at least in part on the selected category, the input comprising content;
- and
- in response to providing a list of tags identifying the content,
- generating a tag chain associated with the content, wherein the tag chain is a composite object representing a grouping of related tags, and wherein generating the tag chain comprises:
- receiving input of a set of tag calculus relationship operators identifying relationships among at least a subset of the list of tags, wherein each relationship operator defines a link between a tag and at least one other tag within the subset of the list of tags;
- and
- generating the tag chain comprising the related subset of the list of tags and the set of tag calculus relationship operators identifying the relationships among the subset of the list of tags.
A system comprising:
- memory configured to store computer-executable instructions;
- and
- at least one processor configured to access the memory and execute the computer-executable instructions to implement operations for generating a tag chain using tag calculus, the operations comprising:
- receiving a selection of a category;
- receiving input based at least in part on the selected category, the input comprising content;
- and
- in response to providing a list of tags identifying the content,
- generating a tag chain associated with the content, wherein the tag chain is a composite object representing a grouping of related tags, and wherein generating the tag chain comprises:
- receiving input of a set of tag calculus relationship operators identifying relationships among at least a subset of the list of tags, wherein each relationship operator defines a link between a tag and at least one other tag within the subset of the list of tags;
- and
- generating the tag chain comprising the related subset of the list of tags and the set of tag calculus relationship operators identifying the relationships among the subset of the list of tags.
