There are disclosed a method and a device for tagging a document. The method includes the steps of acquiring structural information of the document, retrieving a content block list corresponding to a user-input tag, comparing blocks in the structural information with blocks in the content block list, to obtain similar blocks, and annotating the user-input tag at positions, which correspond to the similar blocks, in the document.

Method and device for tagging a document

Tagging methods and apparatus, including computer program products, based on a structured data set. Classification models are created for respective nodes in the structured data set of an event. Public opinions on the event are acquired. The opinions are tagged to corresponding nodes of the structured data set using the created classification models. The tagging methods and apparatus provide well-ordered, focused public opinions for each event to users, and exhibit the evolution of the public opinions along with time.

Tagging method and apparatus based on structured data set

A method and apparatus for preprocessing a plurality of documents for search and presenting search result and a system for searching documents that comprises these apparatuses. The search result, for example, includes at least one candidate document. The candidate document is assigned a tree structure representing its content. The tree structure includes at least one node. The method may include presenting at least a portion of the tree structure corresponded to the candidate document in the search result.

Method and apparatus for preprocessing a plurality of documents for search and for presenting search result

Techniques for processing geographical location data in a document comprise: obtaining geographical location data in the document; grading the geographical location data according to a predetermined condition to determine an associated relationship between the geographical location data; marking on an electronic map the associated relationship between the geographical location data; and presenting the marked electronic map.

Processing geographical location data in a document

The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus for establishing documents relationship based on user's operation upon search result. When a user uses search engine to search for documents with a query in repository, the search result may be a list of ranked documents, and these documents may contain a lot of relationship in term of the specific query. If the user clicks some search result further, and if the click and open operation meet certain conditions, for example exceed a period of time, the clicked document could be deemed as related to the search query. Furthermore it could be inferred that there is a strong relationship between different documents clicked by the user. The present invention records the relationship between documents and presents it to the user when necessary.
