Hi All,

I am making a content management system in asp.net. I want to show max 5
related
links to other articles that somehow relate to the current article.

An example of what I am looking for would be "SEE ALSO:" section at
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/3592928.stm

Bottom line: 1, how can we get related links of an article? 2, what this
thing is called
in technical manner?

Thanks for any help.

Do you want to show 5 related links programatically (not hard coded?).

One idea might be to use the google web service API to do a search and
pull back the first 5 results. Your search parameters could be the
title or description of the current article.

http://www.google.com/apis/


You could encapsulate the display into an ASP.NET 'user control' to
put on any content page.
 
Your help is much appreciate Scott.

In fact the Googling method would not be useful for me as it limits to
Google, its slow
and requires internet to connect to Google.

The problem im facing is, when I go searching for this method, i get pages
with "related
links", and nothing about how do we caclculate related links.

some searching found this:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query/static/computation.html

Its a nice and _basic_ idea, that would do for me. Any idea/thing that is
already implemented
would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
