The invention provides for indexing and cataloging of content on the
Internet, as well as from other stores of information, may be performed
by applying a process that employs an orthogonal corpus, or corpora, of
information, such as an Encyclopedia. To this end, the processes
described herein identify the topics discussed within the corpus. The
process also identifies within the corpus a set of keywords that are
relevant to the topics presented in the corpus. The keywords associated
with a topic may be employed to identify documents stored in another
database that are related to the topic. A graphical representation of the
index of topics found in the corpus may then be generated, with
individual topics operating as links to these related documents. Thus, a
user interested in reviewing content in the corpus related to a certain
topic, may also activate a link in the graphical representation of the
index to access other documents that have been identified as related to
the topic of interest to the user.
