Abstract
Systems and methods that integrate user assigned association among a plurality of resources or entities. The subject innovation employs an association component that relates such resources or entities, based on aggregate of user notions that are assigned for relationships; and/or based on how users perceive existence of relationships among such resources. Accordingly, resources can be related (e.g., linked, matched, tagged and the like) based on relevance of collective user behavior during tagging.
