Abstract: The navigation overhead and/or the content managing/updating overhead is reduced by providing link objects with condition data being associated with the link items of the link objects so that, depending on a check as to whether the condition data is fulfilled or not, an automatic handling of a link object may be performed. For example, the automatic handling may have an automatic appointing an object ID referred to by a link item of the link object that has condition data associated therewith which is fulfilled, as a newly-selected object ID.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention allow structured data to be transferred between a source application and a service-oriented target application that process data in different formats. The data to be transferred may be divided into different sections, where each section is processed by a respective service of the target application. To transform each section of data into a format compatible with a respective service, the data may have a set of associated rules which transform data based on a set of variables. The source application may provide variable definitions for each of the variables. Each service of the target application may specify values for each of the variables. Once the variables have a specified value, a transformation engine may transform each section of the data and subsequently transfer the transformed sections of the data to respective services of the target application for processing.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for aggregating and presenting tags. A system configured to practice the method identifies a type for each tag describing a media event received from a tagging system, generates aggregate tags representing at least a portion of the set of tags based on the identified types, associates each aggregate tag with the media event based on the at least the portion of the plurality of tags represented by each respective aggregate tag, and optionally outputs the aggregate tags with the media event. A system configured to combine media segments based on aggregated tags first retrieves aggregate tags associated with a media event, receives input from a user, identifies a subset of aggregate tags related to the input, and outputs portions of the media event associated with the subset of aggregate tags.

Abstract: In a publish/subscribe system, a plurality of publishers provide information on a range of topics and a plurality of subscribers subscribe to one or more topics and topic sets on which they wish to receive information. Subscribers can also unsubscribe from topics and topic sets on which they do not wish to receive information. A subscription matcher such as a message broker is used to generate a subscription list of topic and topic set identifiers—from both the subscribe and unsubscribe requests of each subscriber. The subscription matcher then matches items of information from each publisher with topics and topic set definitions in the subscription list of each subscriber, and distributes matched items of information in accordance with subscription lists. The subscription matcher determines precedence between any overlapping subscribed and unsubscribed topics and topic sets based on the sequence in which they were stored.

Abstract: A method system and program for performing a query in which context and information including opcodes accompanies an execution plan for the query. The opcodes determine operations to retrieve a set of bind variables. The execution plan and context information shared by a plurality of application programs.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for improving performance of positional text conditions in concert with bitmap-based conditions.

Abstract: An enterprise content management federation and integration system integrates a plurality of applications and federates information seamlessly by receiving, by a composite system, a request from a client system. The system then translates, by a manager system, the request from the client system. The manager system performs one or more high level validations and retrieves information from a mapping stored by an ontology modeling system, a plurality of content types, repositories, actions and object types based at least in part on a plurality of attributes including one or more metadata models or attribute models. The manager system then invokes one or more composites based at least in part on the request from the client system and some or all the information retrieved from the mapping.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for processor-assisted indexing and searching, in which categories or individual documents within a database are annotated to the terms of an ontology, searched and then prioritized by rank. Items of the domain of interest, as well as the ontologies that describe attributes of those items, are embedded into a Bayesian network. Search queries correspond to user activations of items. An error model mimics incomplete or falsely specific items. Search results correspond to a subset of the items to which the query items are semantically-related. A probabilistic inference is performed to obtain marginal probabilities of each search result to explain the presence of the queries. These probabilities can then be used for ranking the search results.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an apparatus stores a plurality of datapoints. A datapoint comprises a first value and a second value that depends upon the value of the first value. The apparatus associates the datapoint with a group from a plurality of groups. The group is associated with an identifying range and the datapoint is associated with the group based at least in part upon the first value of the datapoint and the identifying range of the group. The apparatus calculates a median of the second values of the datapoints associated with the group and a performance value by performing a regression based at least in part upon the identifying range and the calculated median of the group. The apparatus determines that the performance value exceeds a baseline value and in response, presents, on a display, an illustration depicting the identifying range and the associated median of the group.

Abstract: The management of data storage channel utilization in a computing system that has multiple users. The system receives file-level requests from requesters and then creates a history for each requester. Upon evaluating the history of each requester, the system determines whether to delay the file-level requests from entering the file system stack based on the result of the evaluation. The system delays one or more of the file-level requests if the history of the corresponding requester meets one or more criteria. If the history of the corresponding requester does not meet the criteria, the system allows the file-level requests to be passed to the file system stack without being delayed.
