Abstract

A computerized search method includes receiving first input designating a first location of a first analytic. The method includes, in response to a scheduling event, obtaining a first document from the first location, identifying a first predefined label within the first document, obtaining first and second data associated with the first predefined label, storing the first datum into a value index as a current value of the first analytic, and storing the second datum into a text index as a textual description of the first analytic. The method includes presenting a search interface and, in response to receiving a search query from a user: identifying a set of result analytics relevant to the search query based on the text index and presenting, for each of the result analytics, a textual description of the analytic from the text index and a most recent value of the analytic from the value index.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An administrative interface configured to be used with one or more databases for analytics comprising:
specifying, via the administrative interface, a first predefined label for use with the one or more databases for analytics;
receiving a first input designating a first location of a first analytic;
obtaining a first document from the first location;
identifying the first predefined label within the first document;
obtaining a first datum associated with the first predefined label from the first document;
storing the first datum into a value index as a current value of the first analytic;
obtaining a second datum associated with the first predefined label from the first document;
storing the second datum into a text index as a textual description of the first analytic; and
determining a level of authority to associate with the first analytic.

2. The administrative interface of claim 1 , wherein determining a level of authority to associate with the first analytic comprises:
in response to obtaining the first document, acquiring, from a predefined position in the first document with respect to the first predefined label, identification information for one or more of an author and a publisher of the first analytic;
acquiring credibility data associated with the one or more of the author and the publisher of the first analytic;
determining a credibility value to associate with the first analytic based, at least in part, on the acquired credibility data; and
utilizing the credibility value, at least in part, to determine the level of authority to associate with the first analytic.

3. The administrative interface of claim 2 , further comprising:
selectively displaying the identification information for one or more of the author and a publisher of the first analytic to a user.

4. The administrative interface of claim 3 , wherein selectively displaying the identification information comprises:
acquiring, from a second predefined position in the first document with respect to the first predefined label, contact information for one or more of the author and the publisher; and
selectively displaying the contact information to the user.

5. The administrative interface of claim 1 , wherein determining a level of authority to associate with the first analytic comprises:
assigning, by a publisher of the first analytic, a confidence score to the first analytic; and
utilizing the confidence score, at least in part, to determine the level of authority to associate with the first analytic.

6. The administrative interface of claim 5 , further comprising:
invalidating the confidence score associated with the first analytic based upon expiration of a predetermined amount of time.

7. The administrative interface of claim 1 , wherein determining a level of authority to associate with the first analytic comprises:
receiving, from one or more users of the search method, user information indicating whether the one or more users determined the first analytic to be authoritative or helpful; and
utilizing the user information, at least in part, to determine the level of authority to associate with the first analytic.

8. A system configured to be used with one or more databases for analytics comprising:
at least one processor; and
a computer-readable medium configured to store instructions for execution by the at least one processor, wherein the instructions include:
specifying a first predefined label for use with the system;
receiving first input designating a first location of a first analytic;
obtaining a first document from the first location;
identifying the first predefined label within the first document;
obtaining a first datum associated with the first predefined label from the first document;
storing the first datum into a value index as a current value of the first analytic;
obtaining a second datum associated with the first predefined label from the first document;
storing the second datum into a text index as a textual description of the first analytic; and
determining a level of authority to associate with the first analytic.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein determining a level of authority to associate with the first analytic comprises:
in response to obtaining the first document, acquiring, from a predefined position in the first document with respect to the first predefined label, identification information for one or more of an author and a publisher of the first analytic;
acquiring credibility data associated with the one or more of the author and the publisher of the first analytic;
determining a credibility value to associate with the first analytic based, at least in part, on the acquired credibility data; and
utilizing the credibility value, at least in part, to determine the level of authority to associate with the first analytic.

10. The system of claim 9 , further comprising:
selectively displaying the identification information for one or more of the author and a publisher of the first analytic to a user.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein selectively displaying the identification information comprises:
acquiring, from a second predefined position in the first document with respect to the first predefined label, contact information for one or more of the author and the publisher; and
selectively displaying the contact information to the user.

12. The system of claim 8 , wherein determining a level of authority to associate with the first analytic comprises:
assigning, by a publisher of the first analytic, a confidence score to the first analytic; and
utilizing the confidence score, at least in part, to determine the level of authority to associate with the first analytic.

13. The system of claim 12 , further comprising:
invalidating the confidence score associated with the first analytic based upon expiration of a predetermined amount of time.

14. The system of claim 8 , wherein determining a level of authority to associate with the first analytic comprises:
receiving, from one or more users of the search method, user information indicating whether the one or more users determined the first analytic to be authoritative or helpful; and
utilizing the user information, at least in part, to determine the level of authority to associate with the first analytic.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing processor-executable instructions, the instructions comprising:
specifying a first predefined label, wherein specifying the first predefined label includes using an administrative interface configured to be used with one or more databases for analytics;
receiving first input designating a first location of a first analytic;
obtaining a first document from the first location;
identifying the first predefined label within the first document;
obtaining a first datum associated with the first predefined label from the first document;
storing the first datum into a value index as a current value of the first analytic;
obtaining a second datum associated with the first predefined label from the first document;
storing the second datum into a text index as a textual description of the first analytic; and
determining a level of authority to associate with the first analytic.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium storing processor-executable instructions of claim 15 , wherein determining a level of authority to associate with the first analytic comprises:
in response to obtaining the first document, acquiring, from a predefined position in the first document with respect to t
