Abstract: A method and apparatus for finding a set of good enough answers from a set of possible answers. The method includes the steps of defining a set of possible answers, grouping individual answers from the set of possible answers with similar answers, determining whether a first of the groupings of individual answers is distinctly different from the next of the groupings of individual answers, and defining the first of the groupings of the individual answers as a set of good enough answers if it is determined to be distinctly different from the next of the groupings.

Abstract: A computer automated method and apparatus for aggregating unstructured content. The method includes the steps of defining a structured data set based upon unstructured content, storing the structured data set into the computer database system, inputting a set of user-defined instructions into a computer database system, inputting a user query including data attributes into the computer database system, mining the structured data set for data relevant to the user query, creating a results data set comprising the data relevant to the user query, and aggregating data in the results data set using domain metrics selected based on any of predefined and configurable rules and past user usage.
