[0161]Ahmad Shah Massoud was the head of the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan. He was killed on Sep. 9, 2001. A search in the event database on September 9th would have classified this to be a relatively unimportant event, and this would have been in accord with general sentiment about its importance. 48 hours later, however, it was deemed to be an extremely important event.

[0162]This change in importance resulted from reports of Massoud's killing being published on or just around Sep. 11, 2001 in high ranked sources, along with / co-occurrence in documents with another very key event—the 9 / 11 terrorist attacks (that for various reasons have been ranked high). Accordingly, 48 hours later the event's generally agreed-upon importance and likewise its ranking in our system, would be high.

[0163]While the temporal co-occurrence of the two events would no doubt be sufficient by itself to greatly increase the ranking of the Massoud story, the following factors could also have an effect:[0164...

Abstract

In one general aspect, a wide area network fact information service method is disclosed. This method includes storing a plurality of canonical fact entries, storing one or more fact descriptor entries for each of the canonical fact entries, and ranking the canonical fact entries relative to each other based on the descriptor entries.

Description

Cross-Reference to Related Application[0001]This patent application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12 / 691,687 filed Jan. 21, 2010, now U.S. Pat. No. 8,468,153, which claims the benefit of provisional application 61 / 205,567, filed on Jan. 21, 2009, and both of these are herein incorporated by reference. This patent application also relates to the subject matter of U.S. provisional application 60 / 940,643, filed on May 29, 2007, U.S. provisional application 61 / 068,967, filed on Mar. 11, 2008, and U.S. patent application Ser. No. FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]This application relates to information services, such as information services for facts extracted from content meaning across differing sources on a wide area network. Content meaning can be derived through linguistic analysis, metadata, or other approaches.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Many approaches for extracting and using information from large networking environments, such as the Internet, have been p...
