Claim Text:
1. A method for graphically presenting frame instance data, comprising: determining, as a result of computing hardware and programmable memory, a first set of logical forms, each logical form representative of a corresponding unit of natural language in a first source of computer-accessible content, wherein at least some logical forms, of the first set of logical forms, include representation of a logical verb, a logical subject, and a logical object; producing an instance of a frame, as a result of computing hardware and programmable memory, each time a frame extraction rule is satisfied by a member of the first set of logical forms, wherein each instance produced is added to a first set of frame instances; producing, performed at least in part with a configuration of computing hardware and programmable memory, a first graph, inclusive of directed edges, by representing each member, of the first set of frame instances, by a directed edge between two nodes; merging, performed at least in part with a configuration of computing hardware and programmable memory, a first node and a second node if a first role value, represented by the first node, is sufficiently similar to a second role value, represented by the second node; determining, performed at least in part with a configuration of computing hardware and programmable memory, for each node, an outdegree, indegree and degree; determining, performed at least in part with a configuration of computing hardware and programmable memory, for each node, a preference as a function of outdegree and indegree; and displaying, performed at least in part with a configuration of computing hardware and programmable memory, each node, in a coordinate system, using its degree and preference.
