Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for identifying relevant documents. The method receives a set of reference documents. The method analyzes the received set of reference documents. Based on this analysis, the method then identifies one or more documents that are potentially relevant to the discussion in one or more reference documents. In some embodiments, the method identifies the relevant documents by examining candidate documents that are on a computer or are accessible by a computer through a computer network (e.g., a local area network, a wide area network, or a network of networks, such as the Internet). In these embodiments, the method uses its analysis of the reference document set to determine whether the discussion (i.e., content) of the candidate document is relevant to the topics discussed in one or more of the reference documents. If so, the method of some embodiments identifies the candidate document as a potentially relevant document (i.e., as a document that is potentially relevant or related to the reference document set).

Methods and systems for analyzing XML documents. The system scans an XML document, identifies different dimensions that span the XML document and detects scoping relationships amongst them. The system uses the dimensional information to create a logical hierarchical scoped dimension analysis model, maps the logical XML tree to this model, and then implements the analytical method over the logical model. The logical model allows both structural features and numeric / non-numeric data to be used for analysis. The analytical method allows users to query irregular structural properties of the XML documents using the XPath navigational API.

Document identification tags are assigned to documents to be added to a collection of documents. Based on query-independent information about a new document, a document identification tag is assigned to the new document. The document identification tag so assigned is used in the indexing of the new document. When a list of document identification tags are produced by an index in response to a query, the list is approximately ordered with respect to a measure of query-independent relevance. In some embodiments, the measure of query-independent relevance is related to the connectivity matrix of the World Wide Web. In other embodiments, the measure is related to the recency of crawling. In still other embodiments, the measure is a mixture of these two. The provided systems and methods allow for real-time indexing of documents as they are crawled from a collection of documents.
