Abstract:
The present invention provides a system and method for consistent identification and refinement of registered users and their preferences to create detailed profiles. These profiles are augmented by the information that the users input, import or access via a web application and/or associated desktop client that also monitors and captures users' primary data and secondary metadata on the data the users input, and captures various levels of indexing and or metadata on data that users are looking for. The aggregation of data may be captured in time dependent models describing the interest of users and groups of users over time.
