Claim:
1. A method comprising: modeling a first query in a given vector space, wherein the given vector space comprises multiple word and/or term dimensions from a predetermined language source; searching the first query against a first corpus of documents to determine a set of documents matching an entity of interest identified in the first query; generating a list of technologies that (i) appear within the content of the set of documents and (ii) are associated to the entity of interest; organizing said list of technologies by building a graph wherein the nodes of the graph represent technology terms and a directed edge exists from a first technology term to a second technology term if a hyperlink to the second technology term exists in a reference webpage associated with the first technology term; modeling a second query in the given vector space, wherein the second query is based on one or more selected technologies from the graph; searching the second query against a second corpus of documents to determine a set of documents representing a technology recommendation for the entity of interest, wherein the second corpus of documents comprises a corpus of intellectual property assets, and wherein the set of documents representing a technology recommendation comprises a subset of the intellectual property assets proposed for licensing and/or selling to the entity of interest; and outputting the set of documents representing the technology recommendation to a user and/or a display; wherein the steps are carried out by at least one computing device.
