Method and system for identifying high-quality items

摘要

A network-based computer system that organizes representations of information provided by users known as Deeds, wherein Deeds represent different versions of the same document, which includes communication such that a Topic may have a plurality of associated Deeds. The system provides any of a plurality of users the ability to create a new Deed by cloning, during which selected data is inherited from an existing Deed. The system provides a plurality of users with the ability to rate Deeds, at any point in time. One Deed associated with a given Topic is considered to be the Current Best. The system makes the Current Best more readily viewable than other Deeds associated with the Topic. The system combines expressions of opinion of a plurality of users to determine the Current Best.
