Abstract: A method and system generate an inferential network. Records of searches of a network of linked nodes are stored. Each of the nodes is connected to another one of the nodes by a link. Further, each of the records includes: 1) search terms used in a corresponding search; and 2) results of the corresponding search. The results correspond to nodes of the network. The stored records are analyzed to infer relationships between pairs of nodes of the network. Each of the relationships is inferred from the behavior of one of the nodes of a pair of nodes relative to the other node of the pair of nodes. Inferential nodes corresponding to the nodes of the pairs of nodes are generated, and inferential links between the inferential nodes are generated. The inferential links correspond to the inferred relationships.

Abstract: Methods and or systems relating to inferential networks. This invention is further directed to methods and systems for making and using inferential networks. Still further, this invention is generally directed to making one or more inferential networks by using data generated from directed searches of collections of linked databases.

Abstract: This technology is generally directed to one or more methods or systems relating to personal communication networks. This technology is further directed to methods and systems for communicating about updates to the profiles associated with members of personal communication networks. Still further, this technology is generally directed to informing members of the personal communication network about accolades and historical search data of other members in the personal communication network, thereby giving the members a broader knowledge base in order to determine how much to trust the other members of the personal communication network and to inform members about additional expertise areas of members of the personal communication network.
