hi, i'm developing an article cms on multiple domains. i'm trying to formulate a way to automatically relate certain categories to certain domains. example. www.digitalcms.com (not mine) would automatically query articles in the categories palms, computers, ipods, laptops etc.. is there a way to this without human intervention on manually relating these? any help appreciated. thanks in advance. cheers, popol
Does the information exist in a "related" form somwhere else already? If not.. All the database has to go on so far is a few words, which to it, likely aren't going to appear related without you telling it the relation, so in one way or another there will be some manual work involved. The easiest way if you don't already have some kind of "relation data" is to relate keywords in the domain, to other keywords you specify. For example. "digitalcms.com" contains the word 'digital' therefore, you relate it to: 'computers', 'pdas', 'keyboards', 'cpus', and 'lcds' The same relation you describe there would apply to digitalmedia.com superdigitalfriends.com and anything else with the word 'digital'. You can go on to setup more relations using other words that can apply to multiple domains: myroses.com, getroses.com 'roses' -> flowers, weddings, birthday, anniversary earngold.com, finegold.com 'gold' -> jewlery, investing, metal detectors.... etc, etc Hope this helps a little.
