Abstract

Semantically linked pages are queried based on a user supplied interest vector. The interest vector provides a weight for presenting results from the query of pages. The interest vectors are used to calculate the importance of pages of a query based on the weight of semantic links associated with the page known as page rank indicators. Optionally, the calculation is augmented by other page ranking algorithms. An indication of the resulting pages is displayed according to the calculated importance. Preferably the calculation utilizes a dot product of page rank and user interest vectors.
