receiving a query;

separating a plurality of information sources into individual elements of content (EOC);

tagging each EOC with metadata;

pattern matching each EOC;

calculating a distance function from every EOC to every other EOC;

providing the EOC to a set of virtual buffers, each EOC being provided to one of the set of virtual buffers that is pre-defined to contain EOC with less than a given distance value between each other;

concatenating the EOC in each virtual buffer;

applying a comparative analysis filter to remove redundant sub-elements;

synthesizing summary digests by extracting context-preserving EOC, the EOC having a distance function value less than a predetermined value; and

presenting results as summary digests, wherein the summary digests comprise color-coded sub-elements of content based on the number of EOC containing that particular sub-element.
