US Patent 8060513 Information processing with integrated semantic contexts

A system and method for generating a frame of reference for a plurality of information, the plurality of information containing text data and obtained by a user through interaction with one or more information sources. The method and system include receiving selected information for analysis, the information including a plurality of text data and identifying a plurality of logical units of the text data. Also included are identifying a plurality of individual textual portions in each of the logical units and calculating the number of logical units associated with each of the individual textual portions of the plurality of textual portions for use in identifying a plurality of patterns including a respective pattern for each of the individual textual portions. Based on the identified patterns, a measure of importance for each of the plurality of patterns is calculated and respective patterns from the plurality of patterns are selected based on their corresponding measure of importance satisfying a predefined pattern importance threshold for retaining the respective patterns in the plurality of patterns. Further, a plurality of information context definitions is generated based on the selected respective patterns and the generated information context definitions are assigned as context definitions of a semantic context associated with the frame of reference. The plurality of information is related to each other and such relation is represented by the generated context definitions of the semantic context.
