Abstract:
1. A tag-suggestion computer system that includes, or that accesses, one or more data-storage devices, the tag-suggestion system comprising: one or more processors; one or more electronic memories; a set of defined tags stored in the tag-associated data-object storage system; tag-associated data objects stored in tag-associated data-object storage system; a comparator that compares a data object to other data objects stored in the tag-associated data-object storage system in order to determine those data objects stored in the tag-associated data-object storage system which are most similar to the data object for which tags are to be associated by carrying out a dot product operation on a characteristic vector that a tag selector that selects tags associated with a number of data objects stored in tag-associated data-object storage system most similar to the data object for which tags are to be associated, the tag selector selecting as candidate tags a number of tags associated with those data objects stored in the tag-associated data-object storage system most similar to the data object for which tags are to be associated by
