44. The system according to claim 27 , wherein the measurement engine is further adapted to determine a measurement of distinctiveness for at least one set relative to a baseline measure.
27. A system for optimizing results returned from interaction with a collection of information, the system comprising: at least one processor operatively connected to a memory, wherein the at least one processor when executing provides: a rules engine adapted to establish criteria associated with at least one operation on a collection of information, wherein execution of the operation is based on a comparison of a measurement of a distinctiveness of the set of results and a distinctiveness score threshold, and wherein the rules engine is further configured to establish a rule that comprises the criteria and the at least one operation; a measurement engine adapted to measure the distinctiveness of a set of results, wherein the distinctiveness of the set of results is measured in relation to the collection of information, and wherein the measurement engine is further adapted to: determine a measurement of distinctiveness for the set of results based on a statistical distribution of at least one identifying characteristic identify the at least one identifying characteristic within an evaluated set, and determine a measure of distinctiveness of the evaluated set within the collection of information; a retrieval engine adapted to return a set of results from a collection of information in response to interaction with the collection of information, wherein the set of results comprises a plurality of documents retrieved from the collection of information, wherein each of the plurality of documents further comprise a unit of storage of digital data; a modification engine adapted to modify the set of results according to the at least one operation by applying the rule to the set of results in response to a determination that the set of results matches the established criteria, wherein the determination is based, at least in part, on the comparison of the measurement of distinctiveness for the set of results and the distinctiveness score threshold; and an output engine adapted to output the modified result.
