Method and system for user and reference ranking in a database

摘要

A method and system for user and reference ranking in a database or index. Users may provide reference anchors to references and those may be rated by other users. References may be rated by users and the feedback of those ratings may dynamically alter a prior user's score or ranking. The weight of a user's rating thereafter may be influenced by his score or ranking. Users or the system may create categories, which may be cross-referenced, and users may provide ratings of those categories as well. Users may also suggest search fields for categories. Feedback ratings for the search fields and categories may also affect a user's score or ranking.
