Abstract
Disclosed is a system and method for performing a semantic operation on a social network. In an embodiment, the method comprises receiving a social network user context associated with a user of the social network; generating, through a semantic operation, an interest network based on the user context information; and filtering, ranking or augmenting, using at least one processor executing stored program instructions, a retrieval of information related to the social network based on the interest network; wherein the interest network comprises concepts represented by a data structure associated with the concepts in the interest network. In another embodiment, the method further comprises representing the interest network as an interest graph. In yet another embodiment, the semantic operation is a synthesis operation or retrieval operation performed on a knowledge representation.
