Abstract

A method, system and computer program for identifying a relationship between concepts in an object includes (i) selecting the object for inclusion in an initial subset of objects obtained as an output of a search engine; (ii) storing the object in a database; (iii) creating an index of the object; (iv) analyzing the index to extract two concepts relating to the object; (v) highlighting the two concepts within object; (vi) calculating a strength of a relationship between the two concepts using a ratio; (vii) storing the two concepts and the strength of the relationships between the two concepts in a database; (viii) presenting the two concepts and the strength in an interface that has a concept matrix; and (ix) repeating steps vi through viii for every possible pairwise combination of concepts within the index. The relationship can be the two concepts both occur in the same object; the two concepts occur near each other within the same object; and the two concepts occur near each other and in a particular order within the same object. The ratio can be a support ratio; an occurrence ratio; and a combined ratio. An additional concept can be added to the index; all the concepts can be grouped in the index by concept type; and complex meta-structures can be created. The concept type can be a part of speech; a geographic region; a person; a group of persons; a business unit; an organization; an action; a process; a product; a service; a subject; and a category.
