ASSESSING PROPAGATION OF DISTRIBUTED CONTENT RELEVANT TO A SUBJECT OF FOCUS

Abstract:

A computer assesses propagation of distributed content relevant to a subject of focus in an information sharing network. The computer receives a topical content data set containing attribute information for several subjects of assessment. The computer performs a contextual analysis of the attribute information and generates a knowledge corpus with propagation data indexed by subject of assessment. The computer receives distribution content and determines a subject of said distribution content. The computer compares the subject of distribution content to the subjects of assessment to determine whether the distribution content is relevant to a subject of assessment. The computer identifies relevant subjects of assessment as subjects of focus and assesses subject of focus propagation data to determine an importance value for said distribution content. The computer makes a dissemination recommendation for the distribution content based, at least in part, on the importance value.
