Abstract
A method and system for profiling a user based upon a user's previous on-line actions is provided. The profile provides a characterization of the user's preferences based upon a received user event. The user event identifying event identification information and a user identifier. A look-up in a cached web map is performed to retrieve classification information associated with the event identification information. A user profile is retrieved or created for the user identifier. Profile update information is generated based upon the retrieved classification information for the user event, to identify how the user is to be updated based upon the retrieved classification information and defined profiling rules. The user profile is updated and stored for access by an external advertising server. The classification information provides a text-score record comprising a text string and a score defined in relation to a lexical ontology comprising a hierarchy of categories.
