1. A computer-implemented method for building a user profile, the method comprising: labeling and storing user registration information in a database as a set of demographic nouns; analyzing author-generated classification information regarding a document with a user profiling server and assigning a set of first taxonomic nouns to characterize the user based upon the author-generated classification information; examining a user-generated tag from a client computer with the user profiling server_and characterizing the user of the document and assigning a set of second taxonomic nouns to characterize the user based upon the user-generated tag characterization; identifying a search term with the user profiling server that resulted in the user accessing the document from a content provider site server and assigning a set of third taxonomic nouns to characterize the user based upon the search term; evaluating attributes with the user profiling server that are related to the manner in which the user accesses the document from the content provider site server and assigning a set of fourth taxonomic nouns to characterize the user based upon the attributes related to the manner in which the document was accessed; processing the document with a content analysis server to extract a set of fifth taxonomic nouns to characterize the user; aggregating the set of first taxonomic nouns, the set of second taxonomic nouns, the set of third taxonomic nouns, the set of fourth taxonomic nouns, and the set of fifth taxonomic nouns into a composite set of taxonomic nouns with a user profiling server; and building a user profile with the user profiling server based upon at least one of the demographic nouns, the composite set of taxonomic nouns, and the author-generated classification information.
