Abstract
In a method of visually representing a hierarchy of category nodes that identify one or more concepts, accesses to documents are tracked and one or more concepts that are relevant to the accessed documents are determined. In addition, one or more category paths through the hierarchy of category nodes for the determined one or more concepts are determined and relevance levels for the category nodes with respect to the determined one or more concepts are determined based upon the generated one or more category paths. Moreover, a graph depicting a visual representation of the relevance levels determined for each of the category nodes in the hierarchy of category nodes is constructed.
