Abstract: The present disclosure relates to utilizing a hierarchical network communication system to efficiently manage and monitor a controlled hierarchical network. In particular, the hierarchical network communication system utilizes gateway services embedded among various architecture levels of a controlled hierarchical network to facilitate secure communications between levels of the hierarchical network as well as with an authorized external computing device or computing system. In various instances, the gateway service includes various components and elements that facilitate inter-network level communication as well as remote management, including monitoring, configuring, and upgrading components and resources at each level of the controlled hierarchical network.

Abstract: A method and system for a content broker, including a unified object index, where the content broker is coupled to the unified object index and receives, from a requesting entity, a request to perform an action on an object and the object is stored in the content repository. The method further including obtaining the object associated with the request from a content repository, determining, using the unified object index, a normalized object type associated with the object, obtaining a governance rule based on the normalized object type, and servicing the request using the governance rule.

Abstract: A method and system for managing document dissemination are disclosed, including obtaining a plurality of operation logs from a plurality of local agents, where each of the plurality of local agents is executing on one of a plurality of clients. The method further includes identifying a document stored on a client of the plurality of clients, determining, using at least one of the plurality of operation logs, a dissemination path of the document between the plurality of clients, and performing an action based on the dissemination path of the document.

Abstract: De-duplicating results of queries of data repositories is described. A system associates each data object of the first set of duplicate data objects stored by multiple data repositories with a first unique duplicate set identifier, and each data object of the second set of duplicate data objects stored by the multiple data repositories with a second unique duplicate set identifier. The system identifies a first data object of the first set of duplicate data objects and a second data object of the first set of duplicate data objects in response to a query. The system determines that the first data object is associated with the first unique duplicate set identifier, and that the second data object is also associated with the first unique duplicate set identifier. The system outputs a query result that includes only the first data object.
