Abstract

A method, system, and computer software for information retrieval in semantic networks, has the steps of: acquiring a graph of interest, assuming a novel metric regarding the acquired graph, specifying a query node of interest on the obtained graph, calculating a shortest-path distance from the query node of interest to a plurality of other nodes on the acquired graph, obtaining a ranked list of nodes based on the calculated shortest-path distance, and displaying for a user the retrieved information.
