24. A system for supporting curation of a new item in a searchable knowledge base, wherein the searchable knowledge base includes a plurality of items, said system comprising: at least one processor configured to: mine one or more search queries of the searchable knowledge base, wherein each of the one or more search queries includes search results including a plurality of the plurality of items of the knowledge base, each item including a title identifying an issue and/or topic addressed by the item and further including a plurality of posts from users of the knowledge base system, each post relevant to the issue and/or topic of the item; re-run at least one of the one or more mined search queries against the searchable knowledge base using a PageRank algorithm, the PageRank algorithm using information external to the searchable knowledge base; determine one or more items of the plurality of items of the knowledge base using a processor, wherein each of the one or more items include a correlation value exceeding a threshold, wherein the correlation value for the each of the one or more items is based upon a frequency the each of the one or more items co-occur with the new item in search results of at least one of the at least one of the one or more search queries; and provide at least one of the one or more items to a curator, wherein the curator reviews the at least one of the one or more items; wherein the plurality of items of the knowledge base each correspond to a record of information on a specific issue or topic relevant to a topic covered by the knowledge base, and wherein the one or more mined search queries are saved within a history database, each of the saved search queries corresponding to a previously performed search of the searchable knowledge base, identifying the search terms of the previously performed search, and identifying items of the searchable knowledge base returned in response to the previously performed search.

The system of claim 24 , wherein the correlation value for the each of the one or more items is further based upon a frequency with which terms of the each of the one or more items co-occur with terms of the new item.
