Abstract: Systems and methods that enable relationship information to be carried along with data objects when serializing/deserializing data objects among application tiers. A tracking component tracks information on relationships associated with a data object, and further enables subsequent change processing on the data object's relationship information. Accordingly, relationship information can be carried along with the data object, such that database operation can be performed without requirement of additional information from the database (e.g., foreign key information that is part of associated graphs).

Abstract: When a WORM cartridge is formatted for Tape File System (LTFS) in advance, such as prior to shipment, Linear Tape File System Library Edition (LTFS LE) is expanded by software to reduce consumption of the index partition and to support elimination of the appending of unnecessary data. More specifically, instead of recording metadata in the index partition during normal unmounting, the metadata is recorded in separate local storage such as on hard disk drive (HDD), and the index partition is updated only when the cartridge is ejected from the library. In this way, the present invention is able to significantly reduce the frequency of index partition updates. Because an update occurs only when the user intentionally ejects a cartridge, overflow of the index partition before overflow of the data partition can be prevented.

Abstract: A computer processor determines a root of a first element of a semantic model, in which a first relationship of the first element to a second element of the semantic model, is unknown. The computer processor generates a search token, based on applying morphological rules to the root of the first element and appending a preposition. The computer processor determines one or more regular expressions by applying the search token to search a source of unstructured data. The one or more regular expressions are in a form of a triple, having a subject, a predicate, and an object, and the computer processor applies the predicate of the triple as the first relationship of the first element of the semantic model to a second element of the semantic model.

Abstract: Systems and methods for storing data in a data storage system that allows dynamic context-based data protection and distribution are disclosed. The method includes receiving a storage request and evaluating whether a storage policy is specified in the storage request. When the storage request specifies a storage policy, the data is stored according to the specified policy. When the storage request does not specify a storage policy, meta data and/or the data item itself may be evaluated to identify a storage policy. When a storage policy has been identified, store the data is stored according to the identified policy. When a storage policy has not been specified and cannot be identified, an error is returned.

Abstract: Queries regarding access permissions of users and rights to directories in a complex enterprise are executed in near real-time, using lookups to tables that form a condensed database maintained for each file server. User information is condensed by arranging users in user groups having common data access rights. Directory permissions storage is condensed by showing only distinctive permissions to a directory in a table entry, and referencing inherited permissions of parent directories. The tables indicate recursive and ancestral relationships among the user groups and directories. They are developed and updated in advance of any queries. A consolidated view of the query results is presented on a single display screen. Using the tables results can be obtained without exhaustive searches of large file system tables.

Abstract: A set of comments associated with an item of media content is identified. A set of sentiment scores associated with the set of comments is generated, wherein each sentiment score indicates a type of sentiment expressed in a comment. The sentiment profile is generated responsive at least in part to the set of sentiment scores, the sentiment profile indicating the types of sentiment expressed in comments associated with the item of media content and stored in association with the item of media content.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for providing a people search that uses proximity in ranking results. A search query for a person is obtained from a user.

Abstract: A mobile station automatically stores location information and, optionally, time stamps as metadata associated with objects created or accessed by the mobile station. The location information indicates the location of the mobile station when the object is created. The objects stored on the mobile station may then be searched based on the stored location information or on a combination of the stored location information and stored timestamp metadata.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating and playing a sequence of media objects based on a mood gradient are also disclosed. A mood gradient is a sequence of items, in which each item is media object having known characteristics or a representative set of characteristics of a media object, that is created or used by a user for a specific purpose. Given a mood gradient, one or more new media objects are selected for each item in the mood gradient based on the characteristics associated with that item. In this way, a sequence of new media objects is created but the sequence exhibits a similar variation in media object characteristics. The mood gradient may be presented to a user or created via a display illustrating a three-dimensional space in which each dimension corresponds to a different characteristic. The mood gradient may be represented as a path through the three-dimensional space and icons representing media objects are located within the three-dimensional space based on their characteristics.
