Abstract: Author-created digital agents and content corpora for electronic documents are described. A content corpora service can include application programming interfaces such as for adding content to a corpus, attaching a corpus to a document, retrieving corpora associated with an author, and searching content of a corpus. An author-created digital agent can receive a request from a consumer of a document, determine corpora associated with the document, formulate a query based on the request, and search content associated with the corpora associated with the document.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for identifying and managing trusted sources in online and networked content. URLs and other objects are vetted and identified as trusted sources based on the documents in which these objects are used or otherwise acted upon and not on the content of the URLs or other objects themselves. When a URL or other object is used in a document, the URL is given a score based on the use activity, attributes of the document itself, and, optionally, user history of the user. As users use that same URL with respect to their documents, the scores from those activities are accrued to that URL. A URL with an accrued score (value) above (or equal to) a threshold value can be added to a corpus of trusted sources that can be accessed when conducting research and/or by other applications and search engines.

Abstract: Application programming interfaces (APIs) are provided that provide functionality of accessing, ranking, scoping, enrichment, cleansing, and cohort determination of content based on a corpus of trusted sources. For example, in response to receiving a request for ranked objects via a ranking API, a system can obtain objects from a corpus identified by the request for ranked objects and a corresponding rank and/or score of each of the objects and provide the objects and the corresponding rank and/or score of each of the objects to a source of the request for ranked objects, wherein the corpus stores identified trusted sources that are scored based at least on a document activity score.
