ABSTRACT:
A computer-implemented method of maintaining a list of documents of interest to a user within a corpus of documents includes associating an editable user document with the corpus and generating an initial list of documents based upon an initial content of the user document. The list is generated by cross-referencing the initial content with content of documents in the corpus, and each entry in the initial list is assigned a corresponding initial ranking value based upon the cross-referencing. The user is presented with an initial list of documents of interest from within the corpus on the basis of the initial ranking values. Responsive to one or more updates of the editable document by the user, one or more further lists of documents are generated based upon updated content of the document. The process may be repeated to provide the user with ongoing feedback of relevant documents within the corpus.
