Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method, apparatus and system for linking documents, the method comprising the steps of: providing a plurality of clusters in an enterprise intranet, each cluster consists of one or more documents; building a cluster page for each cluster to present the documents in the cluster; and building links between the cluster pages, between the documents, and between the cluster page and the document, based on analysis of the contents of the clusters and the documents. The present invention is useful for building the links between separate documents and may apply a link analyzing algorithm to the search for these documents to implement better search performance within the enterprise intranet.
