Abstract: An image association content storage and retrieval system, wherein the system is comprised of a content creation process to create a piece of information with an image candidate; the image candidate is processed with an image association process and the piece of information with the image candidate is saved in a knowledge repository; the piece of information being retrieved from the knowledge repository by a user using a search engine; the system displays a set of search results comprising of a plurality of pieces of information being accompanied with a plurality of image associations; the set of search results being filtered by the user relies on visual association cues in the set of search results to find a relevant piece of information in an accelerated method of content retrieval.

Abstract: Described herein are embodiments of a content management system for private knowledge repositories. The system comprises a content management module for carrying out: a method of content creation to create a unit of content; a method of content association to associate an image with the unit of content; a search function to retrieve search results including the unit of content and the associated image; and a search function to retrieve search results constrained to a user's network in a private social network. The search functions thus provide social network-defined image-based content retrieval.
