Abstract: A method and structure for entering authentication data into a device by displaying in an optical unit a key map which correlates data input into the device with keys of the device, the key map indicating data different from that of the keys of the device.

Abstract: Techniques for enriching a taxonomy using one or more additional taxonomies are provided. The techniques include receiving two or more taxonomies, wherein the two or more taxonomies comprise a destination taxonomy and one or more additional taxonomies, determining one or more relevant portions of the two or more taxonomies by identifying one or more common terms between the two or more taxonomies, importing one or more relevant portions from the one or more additional taxonomies into the destination taxonomy, and using the one or more imported taxonomy portions to enrich the destination taxonomy.

Abstract: Techniques, a system and an article of manufacture for determining potential enterprise partnerships. A method includes constructing an interaction graph for a set of multiple enterprises based on information pertaining to each of the enterprises and information pertaining to transactions conducted among the enterprises, and determining at least two candidate partnership teams among the set of enterprises based on at least one attribute of the graph, wherein each candidate partnership team comprises two or more of the enterprises.

Abstract: A system and method that enables the collaborative creation and editing of content on a VoiceSite over a telephone. The system and method enables the collaborative creation and editing of content on the VoiceSite by allowing one or multiple users (authors) to generate and edit the content of the VoiceSite at the same or different times. A Collaboration Manager is utilized to manage calls to/from one or more users. A VoiGen component utilizes voice-activated prompts to allow the one or more users to perform at least one of specify user preferences, load templates, store user preferences and service options, parse through obtained data, and generate/edit the VoiceSite based on the inputs provided by the one or multiple users. A Session Manager stores user specific information and ensures that the content provided by multiple users, including edits/changes, is integrated without conflicts.

Abstract: A non-transitory computer storage medium stores a method that includes identifying a social network of a plurality of entities, each entity being associated with at least one other entity in the social network. A group of entities is identified from the plurality of entities that have expressed an interest in any one of a plurality of items. A primitive-community for each of the groups of entities is determined for each distinct item of the plurality of items. Common sets of entities are determined within each primitive-community associated with the each distinct item of the plurality of items based on a minimum support level, using a frequent itemset mining approach, where the first primitive community and the second primitive community are treated as transactions and entities are treated as items.
