36. A system for measuring the distinctiveness of a result generated from a collection of information, wherein the result is comprised of elements associated with the collection of information, the system comprising: an analysis component adapted to automatically obtain a statistical distribution of at least one identifying characteristic within a result; a measurement component adapted to generate a measurement of distinctiveness for the result based on the statistical distribution of the at least one identifying characteristic; and a comparison component adapted to compare the measured statistical distribution against a baseline statistical distribution, wherein the comparison component is further adapted to determine that the compared statistical distribution exceeds a threshold for distinctiveness.
