ABSTRACT:
A method and system for ranking objects based on relationships with objects of a different object type is provided. The ranking system defines an equation for each attribute of each type of object. The equations define the attribute values and are based on relationships between the attribute and the attributes associated with the same type of object and different types of objects. The ranking system iteratively calculates the attribute values for the objects using the equations until the attribute values converge on a solution. The ranking system then ranks objects based on attribute values.
