Abstract: A semantic layer (universe), which is created on a source database (DB), is migrated to a target DB. The migration includes pre-migration steps, actual migration and post-migration steps. The pre-migration steps prepare the target DB for the actual migration by configuring the target DB and determining the differences between the source DB and the target DB. During the actual migration, data, tables and views are migrated to the target DB conforming to the target database structure, functions and configuration. A new universe is created on the target database and all consumers of the source universe such as created reports are changed to refer to the new universe.

Abstract: A query system for carrying out a query process corresponding to a received query element on a database system and/or a search-engine system, the query system comprising: a synchronization unit operable, as a non-text-centric synchronization process, to convert a non-text-centric data entry of the database system into a corresponding text-centric data entry representative of that non-text-centric data entry, and to enter the text-centric data entry into an index of the search-engine system so that the non-text-centric data entry of the database system is available to both the search-engine and database systems.

Abstract: A search engine may perform a search for a user search query. A rankings of result items may be returned as a result of the search. The user may enter new suggested rankings for some of the items. The new suggested rankings may change the rankings of result items when other users search for the same search query or a similar search query at a later time.

Abstract: An arrangement for packaging and transferring files such as content items and metadata in synchronization operations. Files are packaged in a concatenated fashion in order to optimize usage of the transfer channel, while maintaining an ability to keep track of how many files have been transferred. Metadata associated with the files may be sent in a single package in advance of sending the files. The metadata may be compressed using both a custom mechanism that takes into account predictable commonalities inherent in metadata for multimedia files, as well as standard compression techniques.

Abstract: Provided is a search system and a search method to find a document among documents of a search result. This search system includes a division unit that divides a document to be searched into a plurality of blocks in accordance with designated division information, a calculation unit that calculates a hash value of each block by applying a hash function to a character string included in each block, a storage unit that stores the calculated hash value together with positional information on the block in the document, and a document grouping unit that fetches, for each document obtained by searching based on the search word, a corresponding hash value from the storage unit in accordance with positional information on a block including the search word to group documents having the same hash value into one group and output the grouped documents as the search result.

Abstract: Techniques for searching and providing geographical regions are described. The process searches and recommends points of interests based on a user-specified region. Points of interests include spatial objects (e.g., buildings, landmarks, rivers, parks) and their distributions in a geographical region. The process searches and recommends points of interests by partitioning a spatial map into grids to identify representative categories located in each of the grids. In response to the user-specified region, a set of geographical candidates containing the representative categories is retrieved. The process determines whether the user-specified region and the set of geographical candidates include similar or common representative categories and similar or common spatial distributions of the representative categories. Then the process provides the top ranked set of geographical candidates that have similar content information.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided for constructing a minimum superset of data that complies with referential completeness as well as other specified data relationships. Given extraction criteria for the data, an iterative process analyzes the database for records to be included in the minimal superset. The iterative process includes: selecting a given table from a listing of tables implicated by the extraction criteria; identifying tables in the relational database having either a parent or a child relationship with the given table; evaluating concurrently and asynchronously each of the identified tables; and repeating these steps for each of the tables in the listing of tables.

Abstract: Embodiments for a Mining Data Records based on Anchor Trees (MiBAT) process are disclosed. In accordance with at least one embodiment, the MiBAT process extracts data records containing user-generated content from web documents. The web document is processed into a Document Object Model (DOM) tree in which sub-trees of the DOM tree represent the data records of the web document. Domain constraints are used to locate structured portions of the DOM tree. Anchor trees are then located as being sets of sibling sub-trees which contain the domain constraints. The anchor trees are then used to determine a record boundary (i.e. the start offset and length) of the data records. Finally, the data records are extracted based on the anchor trees and the record boundaries.
