Abstract: A method for creating an ordered reading list of predetermined length of relevant topics from a hyperlinked database source of information website for a user. The method includes determining at least one topic of interest based on a plurality of methods and choosing a topic ordering algorithm from a plurality of topic ordering algorithms. A top-down schematic algorithm includes a page rank calculation performed by iterating until a convergence. A bottom-up schematic algorithm includes a linear parameterization of a ratio of an order from a plurality of source topics to a plurality of sink topics of an article, and a horizontal schematic algorithm includes an order parameterization by absolute differences of a log of a plurality of ranks and an absolute difference of a plurality of distances with analogous cutoff methods.
