Abstract
A graph taxonomy of information which is represented by a plurality of vectors is generated. The graph taxonomy includes a plurality of nodes and a plurality of edges. The plurality of nodes is generated, and each node of the plurality of nodes is associated with ones of the plurality of vectors. A tree hierarchy is established based on the plurality of nodes. A plurality of distances between ones of the plurality of nodes is calculated. Ones of the plurality of nodes are connected with other ones of the plurality of nodes by ones of the plurality of edges based on the plurality of distances. The information represented by the plurality of vectors may be, for example, a plurality of documents such as Web Pages.
