Abstract

An apparatus and method for content management allows a large volume of incoming content to be classified and retrieved in real time. Content items are automatically analyzed and a signature generated for each item. Content items are classified into topic clusters by comparing each item's signature with the signature of previously defined topics. The content items are clustered based on the similarity of their signatures to the topic signatures. Topics are defined through selection of exemplary content items. By means of a graphical user interface, an operator defines the topic by selecting the exemplary articles from a listing. The operator may further define the topic by specifying attributes such as source, currency, and type. A graphical topic map allows the user to discern the relatedness of the various topics.
