Abstract: A method for communicating data includes interfacing different data sources to stand-alone software agents customized for the different data sources. The method also providing selected source data to the stand-alone software agents to generate first-stage data feeds in a neutral format in accordance with the customization. The selected source data is dynamically selected from within the data sources, and transformed into the first-stage data feeds in the neutral format. The stand-alone software agents send the first-stage data feeds to an aggregation agent. The aggregation agent generates for a user and based on specified criteria, a second-stage output as a composite of selected source data from the first-stage data feeds.

Abstract: A method for communicating data includes interfacing content transformation agents customized for different source data repositories with the different source data repositories. The method also includes the content transformation agents constructing first first-stage data feed in a neutral format in accordance with the customization by dynamically selecting and transforming, within the source data repositories, selected source data in the first-stage data feed in the neutral format. The method also includes the content transformation agents sending the first first-stage data feeds to an aggregation agent. The aggregation agent generates for a user and based on specified criteria, a second-stage data feed as a composite of selected source data from the first-stage data feeds.

Abstract: A method for communicating data includes customizing content transformation agents for different source data repositories, and providing the content transformation agents to the different source data repositories. First-stage data feeds from the different source data repositories are constructed in a neutral format by dynamically selecting and transforming source data in the different source data repositories into the neutral format. The first-stage data feeds are sent to an aggregation agent which generates, based on criteria specified by a user, a second stage data feed as a composite of selected source data from the first-stage data feeds.

Abstract: A second stage data feed is constructed in a neutral format from source data in a non-syndication format. A content transformation agent is customized for a first source data repository, and the first stage data feed is constructed in the neutral format by dynamically selecting and transforming within the first source data repository selected data primitives of the source data into the first stage data feed in the neutral format. The first stage data feed includes the selected data primitives stored originally in the first source data repository. The first stage data feed is sent to an aggregation agent that generates a second stage data feed as a union of selected data primitives from the first stage data feed. The second stage data feed is generated by detecting relationships among the selected data primitives. The second stage data feed includes related selected data primitives from the first stage data feed.

Abstract: Using a first computer, a content transformation agent is customized for a first source data repository that stores source data. The content transformation agent is provided to the first source data repository. In accordance with the customization, a first stage data feed is constructed in the syndication format by dynamically selecting and transforming within the first source data repository selected data primitives of the source data from the non-syndication format into the first stage data feed in the syndication format. The first stage data feed is sent to an aggregation agent. The aggregation agent receives the first stage data feed from the content transformation agent. Based on specific user criteria, a second stage data feed is generated in a syndication format as a union of selected data primitives from the first stage data feed.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a system for accumulating and correlating data. The system comprises a plurality of silos each having raw data and a plurality of feedlets that transform the raw data into a plurality of high value data feeds. The system also has at least one fuselet that receives the plurality of high value data feeds and generates a complex composite data feed by correlating information in at least one high value data feed.
