Abstract
In some embodiments, a method comprises receiving a tag cloud including tags that hyperlink to web content. The method can also comprise separating the tags into different linguistic categories, assigning a weight to each tag, and grouping the tags into clusters, wherein tags in a cluster are associated with a context. The method can also include determining one or more domains for the tag clusters, wherein a domain is a broadest class that defines one or more of the tags in a linguistic category, determining a hierarchy for the tags based on the weights of the tags, and identifying linguistic relationships between the tags. The method can also comprise determining properties associated with one or more of the tags and one or more of the domains, wherein the tag's properties are determined using linguistic analysis and storing the tags, the hierarchies, the linguistic relationships, and the properties.
