The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , wherein the confidence threshold comprises a set of confidence thresholds, the set of confidence thresholds including a first confidence threshold and at least one subsequent confidence threshold that is lower than the first confidence threshold; and the method further comprises: determining that none of the text data is associated with the respective confidence level that exceeds the first confidence threshold; and determining whether any text data is associated with the respective confidence level that exceeds the at least one subsequent confidence threshold.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein prior to evaluating: receiving and processing the user query input to determine a key term and one or more associated terms, wherein the key term is a query string and the one or more associated terms comprise taxonomic hierarchal relationship nodes related to the key term.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein prior to evaluating: receiving and processing the user query input to determine a key term and one or more associated terms, wherein the key term is a query string and the one or more associated terms comprise taxonomic hierarchal relationship nodes related to the key term. 10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the evaluating the presentation media to select winning media candidates further comprises using design rules to select one or more candidate template elements as winning media candidates based on a context of at least one of the key term or the one more associated terms.

6. A computer program product for use in conjunction with a computer system, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium and a computer program mechanism embedded therein, the computer program mechanism comprising: a one-way hash procedure for generating a digest of a specified document; pseudo-random key generation instructions, including instructions for combining the document digest with at least one other value in accordance with a predefined computational methodology to generate a pseudo-random key k; and digital signature generation instructions for generating a digital signature for the specified document as a predefined function of a private key, the document digest, and the pseudo-random key k; wherein the private key is associated with a person or entity signing the specified document; whereby a distinct pseudo-random key is generated for each distinct specified document; and for a given value of the private key, a distinct digital signature is generated for each distinct specified document.
