Abstract: Relationships are determined by disambiguation for preprocessing content. A first canonical identifier associated with a first element that can be represented in content in a plurality of forms is defined. A second canonical identifier associated with a second element that can be represented in content in a plurality of forms is defined. A first content available over a network is retrieved. An entity name element associated with the first content is identified. The entity name element being able to represent the first element and the second element. The entity name element is associated with the first element or the second element based on context associated with the first content.

Abstract: A method of displaying information relating to a plurality of electronic documents available from an informational network including the steps of: retrieving information relating to location of each of the plurality of documents available on the informational network; identifying a plurality of elements in each of the plurality of documents, each of the plurality of elements being assigned to a descriptive category selected from a list of descriptive categories; applying a score to each of the plurality of elements in each of the plurality of documents based on relevance of each of the elements to its corresponding document; displaying at least one of the plurality of documents using the retrieved information relating to the location of the plurality of documents on the informational network; for each descriptive category, displaying a list of elements selected from the displayed document that have a score above a predetermined score; and for each element in each of the list of elements, providing a network l

Abstract: Advertising placement is determined based on preprocessed content. A first content available over a network is retrieved. One or more first-type elements associated with the first content using a rule-based algorithm is selected. The one or more first-type elements are selected from a plurality of predefined elements associated with a topic and/or industry. A corresponding score is assigned to the one or more first-type elements based on relevancy. A narrower scope of an ad related topic is provided based on the corresponding scores of the one or more first-type elements to increase the value of an ad placement.

Abstract: One-click searching is enabled based on elements related to displayed content. A first content available over a network is retrieved. One or more first-type elements associated with the first content using a rule-based algorithm are identified. The one or more first-type elements are selected from a plurality of predefined elements associated with a topic and/or industry. One or more entity name elements associated with the first content are identified. At least a portion of the first content is displayed. One or more links associated with at least one of the one or more first-type elements and one or more links associated with at least one of the one or more entity name elements associated with the first content are displayed. Upon a single click of a displayed link, a search for a plurality of content based on text of that clicked link is executed.

Abstract: A repository is maintained that includes a first content available over a network. A score is assigned to an association of the first content and an element, where the element is associated with a topic, industry, and/or entity. A second content is obtained associated with a content provider. An association of the element with the second content is determined. Over the network, a request is received from the content provider for information related to the second content. Over the network, an identifier associated with the first content is provided to the content provider based on the score in response to the request for the second content.
