Abstract
The integrity of an existing tag set associated with a web module is protected by reviewing user-generated proposed additions to the tag set to determine whether the proposed addition is appropriate. An initial test is made to determine whether a proposed addition is trivial; e.g., includes strings of the same character. If the proposed addition is not found to be trivial, it is assessed to determine its relatedness to the existing tag set. The proposed addition is made a part of the tag set only if it is found to be sufficiently related to the existing tag set.
Claims11
A system comprising:
- a server including a processor and a memory device for storing a web module and a tag set comprising one or more associated user-generated tags associated with the web module;
- a network adapter configured to receive a user-generated request to add a proposed tag to the tag set;
- and
- a tagging system configured to evaluate the acceptability of the proposed tag and to add the proposed tag to the existing tag set only if the proposed tag is evaluated as being acceptable, wherein
- said tagging system is configured to respond to a user-generated request to add a proposed tag to the tag set by:
- determining whether the number of tags in the existing tag set exceeds a predetermined threshold;
- and
- responding to a determination that the number of tags in the existing tag set exceeds a predetermined threshold by
- creating a data set comprising a set of words and relationships among the words,
- determining the relationship between the proposed tag and the words in created data set, and
- adding the proposed tag to the existing tag set only if the relationship is determined to be acceptable.
A method for controlling the integrity of an existing tag set comprising one or more user-generated tags associated with a web module, said method being performed in a server comprising a processor and a memory device for storing the web module and the existing tag set, said method comprising:
- receiving a user-generated request to add a proposed tag to the existing tag set;
- evaluating the acceptability of the proposed tag;
- and
- adding the proposed tag to the existing tag set only if the proposed tag is evaluated as being acceptable;
- and
- responding to a user-generated request to add a proposed tag to the existing tag set by:
- determining whether the number of tags in the existing tag set exceeds a predetermined threshold;
- and
- responding to a determination that the number of tags in the existing tag set exceeds a predetermined threshold by
- creating a data set comprising a set of words and relationships among the words,
- determining the relationship between the proposed tag and the words in the created data set, and
- adding the proposed tag to the existing tag set only if the relationship is determined to be acceptable.
