Method, system and program product for identifying similar user profiles in a collection

摘要

Under the present invention, a collection of user profiles is provided. Each user profile includes one or more attributes that are associated with a set of data items. When a particular user profile is selected by a querying user, the data items therein are compared to the data items of the other user profiles. Any of the other user profiles that have data items that match those in the selected user profile will be identified as a similar user profile. A list of similar user profiles can then be generated and provided to the querying user.
