Abstract
A method, a computer system, and a computer program product for selecting electronic documents based on an expertness level for a target keyword. The method includes identifying a Lowest Common Ancestor (LCA) for each pair of categories to which documents in a document set belong based on a graph having edges which define relationships between nodes representing respective ones of the categories, the document set being associated with a target keyword, obtaining a degree of dispersion of the categories based on respective distances between the categories of each pair and the corresponding LCA, determining an expertness level for the target keyword based on the degree of dispersion, and in response to receiving a search query including the target keyword, selecting one or more documents from a database based on the expertness level for the target keyword.
