Aha! This is what self-proclaimed-techie product managers in the Search Engine Marketing(SEM) sector is buzzing about all this time.

But peering closely to what Contextual Inventory is. I found some interesting notes about it. Contextual Inventory helps match user interests to the ads being served through contextual relevance. Algorithms used for such activities are usually well-guarded secrets but definitely discoverable. If you think you have one or brewing an idea of having a killer contextual search algorithm, you can play with it using Nutch. And the rest of course is an exercise for the reader.
