Abstract: An application that enables users to effectively utilize and manage knowledge and data the user posses and allows other users to effectively and seamlessly benefit from the user's knowledge and data over a computer network is also disclosed. A method of processing content created by a user utilizing a semantic, ontology-driven portal on a computer network is described. The semantic portal application provides the user with a content base, such as a semantic form or meta-form, for creating a semantic posting. The semantic portal utilizes a knowledge data structure, such as a taxonomy or ontology, in preparing a semantic posting based on the information provided by the user via the content base. The semantic portal application prepares a preview of a semantic posting for evaluation by the user. The semantic posting is then either modified by the user or accepted and posted by the user for external parties to view.

Abstract: An adaptive system architecture for identifying popular topics from messages are disclosed. In one aspect, one example of a system which includes a client device which determines, from the set of messages, commonly or frequently occurring topics and computes at least a portion of the analytics for the commonly or frequently occurring topics in the set of messages that indicate respective levels of popularity. Other portions of the analytics used to determine the respective levels of trendiness of the commonly or frequently occurring topics can be computed by other client devices. Such computation can take place in the web-browsers forming a web-based crowd computing platform for message stream analysis.

Abstract: Systems and methods for recommending advertisement placement based on in network and cross network online activity analysis are disclosed. In one aspect, a method for recommending advertisement placement for an advertiser based on trends identified from activities occurring in or across networks, which can be implemented on a system includes, identifying, from the activities occurring in or across networks, commonly or frequently occurring topics and recommending placement of the advertisement at a timing when the trends or the emerging trends deem it suitable. The statistical attributes for the commonly or frequently occurring topics detected from the activities can be computed to identify trends and emerging trends.

Abstract: Among other disclosure, a knowledge network and semcards enabling intelligent matching of offers and requests, involving all types of information and knowledge, including information such as classified ads, data about products and services, or knowledge, expertise, ideas, suggestions, opinions, and other forms of tacit knowledge is described.

Abstract: Systems and methods for analyzing messages in a network or across networks are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, for detecting trends from a set of messages in a network or across networks, identifying, from the set of messages in the network or across networks, commonly or frequently occurring topics, computing statistical attributes for the commonly or frequently occurring topics in the set of messages that indicate respective levels of trendiness, and/or presenting, the commonly or frequently occurring topics as indicators in a user interface, the indicators being actionable to access additional information relating to a selected topic via the action. The messages include messages interacted with by humans or machines and interactions can include, posted a message, shared a message, liked a message, commented on a message, replied to a message, viewed a message, saved or bookmarked a message.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described that allow a user to mix multiple sources of multimedia content from the Web, such as social network accounts, RSS feeds, and other sources of multi-media content. Each of the sources of content, independent of the format and content, is transformed into a homogeneous content container called a frame, and the frames are organized into a cycling chain of content referred to as a stream. The streams are displayed in real-time on a client device as customized multi-media streams. Users can share frames and/or streams with other users.

Abstract: Among other disclosure, a knowledge network and semcards enabling intelligent matching of offers and requests, involving all types of information and knowledge, including information such as classified ads, data about products and services, or knowledge, expertise, ideas, suggestions, opinions, and other forms of tacit knowledge is described.

Abstract: A system for generating an interactive calendar guide to scheduled web-based events is described. The guide can be presented in any format, including a grid view and a first view, within various media, including at a website hosting the interactive guide and as a widget on a computer display. A user can interact with elements of the guide, select elements of the guide for more information, customize events presented in the guide, filter the results displayed in the guide, send a response to attend an event, go directly to an event from the guide, and modify the presentation format of the guide.

Abstract: Systems and methods for enhanced advertising using semantic search are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a system, of identifying a semantic group with which content of a search result relates, further determining a facet of the semantic group with which the content of the search result relates, identifying an advertisement based on the facet of the semantic group, assigning an index to the advertisement as being associated with the facet of the semantic group, storing the index of the advertisement in a machine-readable storage medium, and/or presenting the advertisement to the user for viewing in a user interface in conjunction with the search result.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating user-customized search results and building a semantics-enhanced search engine are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a system, of generating user-customized search results using user-defined semantic types. The method includes, identifying a first set of URI patterns that are associated with a first set of semantic types defined by a first user, storing the first set of URI patterns in a database embodied in a computer-readable storage medium, and/or semantically categorizing a first set of search results for the first user, as having content related to one or more of the first set of semantic types defined by the first user. The first set of search results can be categorized using the first set of URI patterns.

Abstract: A data construct called a semcard is a semantic (meaning-based) software object including semantic meta-tags and meta-data that describes a target object or thing. A target object can be any type of digital or physical entity or identifier, or it can be tacit knowledge, such as ideas, concepts, processes or other data existing in a user's mind, provided that the user represents this knowledge in the semcard. A semcard embodies information about its own structure—rules, history, state, policies and goals regarding automation, display, access permissions, sharing and other operations of the semcard and any optional target object. It can also represent a semantic link between two semcards, or a semantically typed link or a standard Web hyperlink between a semcard and its referent target. A collection of semcards represents a knowledge network; single semcards, and knowledge networks, can be browsed, shared, searched, disseminated, manipulated, displayed, organized, and stored.

Abstract: Systems and methods for leveraging proximity data in a web-based socially-enabled information networking environment are disclosed.
