DETERMINING PROFILE SIGNATURES ASSOCIATED WITH SETS

Described are systems and methods for establishing and generating collections of sets that contain object identifiers based on user provided annotations for the object identifiers. A set may include one or more object identifiers and each object identifier may include one or more user provided annotations. Annotations from all object identifiers within a set are processed to form a set profile signature representative of the set. The set profile signatures are then compared between different sets to identify similar sets. Similar sets are included in a collection. Utilizing set profile signatures for a set formed based on user provided annotations provides useful relationships between sets that might otherwise not exist.
