A method and system to process a domain. A domain is modeled with one or more domain models. Support models are generated from domain models. An ontological system utilizes the support models to interact with and manipulate the domain models. Further, the support models are used to describe domain model states.

Method, apparatus, and system for data modeling and processing

A method of searching for information includes receiving a query, providing the query to a first search engine that searches a set of data sources, the data sources having relationships to an ontology, receiving search results from the search engine, analyzing the search results to determine at least one statistic corresponding to the search results and the query, wherein the statistic is based upon a relevance score that is calculated based upon a first weighting function related to a concept, a second weighting function related to a data source item, a set of items related to the concept, and a set of items related to the search results, and providing at least one concept to a user, wherein said at least one concept correspond to said at least one statistic.

Automated advertisement publisher identification and selection

A method, system and machine readable medium are disclosed to process one or more documents in a domain. The method includes modeling the domain with a plurality of domain models using an ontological system; representing each document as a collection of one or more domain models; and populating the domain models that are used to represent the document with values corresponding to properties of the document being represented.
