Abstract:
A method for classifying information sources and content based on credibility, reliability, or trust. A content item describing an event is retrieved from an information provider and parsed for links. Each link is evaluated and attributed a sentiment score. The same event is identified in a set of know sources and an event score is calculated based on the credibility of each of the known sources. Finally, the content item is ranked based on the event and sentiment scores.
