SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR HIERARCHICAL CATEGORIZATION OF COLLABORATIVE TAGGING

摘要

Systems and methods for hierarchically categorizing collaborative indexing tags includes, in one aspect, receiving data (e.g., metadata) relating to a post, including a user-selected first category identifier, and a user-defined second category identifier, and content. The systems and methods further include correlating, or mapping, the user-selected first category identifier with a first category identifier database, correlating the user-defined second category identifier with a second category identifier database, and populating a data structure with such information for storage and later retrieval.

1) A method of hierarchically categorizing collaborative indexing tags, comprising:
a) receiving first data relating to a first post object, the first data including:
i) a user-selected first category identifier, selected from a first group of predetermined identifiers;ii) a user-defined second category identifier; andiii) a first content object; b) receiving a request to publish the first post object; c) assigning a first unique identifier to the first post object; d) correlating the user-selected first category identifier with a first category identifier database; e) correlating the user-defined second category identifier with a second category identifier database; and f) populating a first data structure with the user-selected first category identifier, the user-defined second category identifier, and the first unique identifier of the first post object for storage and later retrieval.
