主权项

1. A method for assisting in the organization of information accessed through a web browser, comprising the steps of:
capturing at least one item of information accessed through the web browser; formulating a context graph comprising the at least one captured item of information; providing one or more user interface features permitting a user to link the at least one captured item of information with at least one other captured item of information; visually representing the context graph in a defined organizational area of a display, wherein the context graph comprises a visual representation having nodes corresponding to respective ones of the captured items of information and edges corresponding to user-created links between the captured items of information; calculating a relevance index for at least one item of information of a current web-browsing behavior; and conveying the relevance index for the at least one item of information of the current web-browsing behavior to a user of the web browser, wherein the relevance index is based on comparing the at least one captured item of information and a neighborhood of nodes linked to the at least one captured item of information to the at least one item of information from the current web-browsing behavior to inform the user of the web browser of relevant connections between the at least one item of information and the at least one item of information of the current web-browsing behavior.
