Please help me write a proper abstract based on the patent claims. CLAIM: 1-18. (canceled) 19. A method for knowledge discovery, the method comprising: plotting, by a processing device, a set of concepts derived from a selected set of fingerprints on a terminology system, wherein the plotting generates a map; selecting, by the processing device, a single concept from the set of concepts; displaying, by the processing device, the map with the set of concepts and the selected single concept; and indicating, by the processing device, a relative importance of the selected single concept with respect to the set of concepts on the map. 20. The method of claim 19, wherein each fingerprint represents a document. 21. The method of claim 19, wherein each fingerprint represents a person. 22. The method of claim 19, wherein each fingerprint represents an organization. 23. The method of claim 19, wherein indicating the relative importance of the selected single concept comprises displaying the selected single concept on the map in a first color and a remaining one or more concepts from the set of concepts in a second color that is different from the first color. 24. The method of claim 19, wherein indicating the relative importance of the selected single concept comprises displaying the selected single concept on the map with a first object and a remaining one or more concepts from the set of concepts with a second object, wherein the first object is larger than the second object. 25. A system for knowledge discovery, the system comprising: a processing device; and a non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium, the non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium comprising one or more programming instructions that, when executed, cause the processing device to: plot a set of concepts derived from a selected set of fingerprints on a terminology system, wherein the plotting generates a map; select a single concept from the set of concepts; display the map with the set of concepts and the selected single concept; and indicate a relative importance of the selected single concept with respect to the set of concepts on the map. 26. The system of claim 25, wherein each fingerprint represents a document. 27. The system of claim 25, wherein each fingerprint represents a person. 28. The system of claim 25, wherein each fingerprint represents an organization. 29. The system of claim 25, wherein the one or more programming instructions that, when executed, cause the processing device to indicate the relative importance of the selected single concept further cause the processing device to display the selected single concept on the map in a first color and a remaining one or more concepts from the set of concepts in a second color that is different from the first color. 30. The system of claim 25, wherein the one or more programming instructions that, when executed, cause the processing device to indicate the relative importance of the selected single concept further cause the processing device to display the selected single concept on the map with a first object and a remaining one or more concepts from the set of concepts with a second object, wherein the first object is larger than the second object. 31. A non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium with computer executable instructions embodied thereon for knowledge discovery, the computer executable instructions directing a processing device to: plot a set of concepts derived from a selected set of fingerprints on a terminology system, wherein the plotting generates a map; select a single concept from the set of concepts; display the map with the set of concepts and the selected single concept; and indicate a relative importance of the selected single concept with respect to the set of concepts on the map. 32. The computer readable medium of claim 31, wherein each fingerprint represents a document. 33. The computer readable medium of claim 31, wherein each fingerprint represents a person. 34. The computer readable medium of claim 31, wherein each fingerprint represents an organization. 35. The computer readable medium of claim 31, wherein the computer executable instructions directing the processing device to indicate the relative importance of the selected single concept further direct the processing device to indicate the relative importance of the selected single concept further cause the processing device to display the selected single concept on the map in a first color and a remaining one or more concepts from the set of concepts in a second color that is different from the first color. 36. The computer readable medium readable medium of claim 31, wherein the computer executable instructions directing the processing device to indicate the relative importance of the selected single concept further direct the processing device to indicate the relative importance of the selected single concept further cause the processing device to display the selected single concept on the map with a first object and a remaining one or more concepts from the set of concepts with a second object, wherein the first object is larger than the second object.
