Abstract: A shipping management system comprising a memory configured with shipping records representing shipments from a plurality of carriers and scheduling rules that specify a plurality of update frequencies. The shipping management system comprises a processor coupled to the memory. The shipping management system comprises a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising a set of computer executable instructions, the computer executable instructions executable by the processor to dynamically schedule, according to the scheduling rules, updates to update the shipping records; based on the dynamic scheduling, issue update application programming interface (API) calls according to APIs of carrier systems of respective carriers to request shipment data for the shipments; and update the shipping records based on the shipment data returned in response to the API calls.

Abstract: A shipping management system comprises a memory configured with a set of carrier-specific mapping rules for a plurality of carriers.

Abstract: A model based social analytic system collects social signals from social network accounts for different companies and constituents. The social signals can be used to benchmark social network performance for different contextual dimensions, such as industries, companies, brands, etc. Conversations may be identified in the signals and the types of constituents participating in the conversations may be identified. Analytics can then be determined for the contextual dimensions based on the related conversations and the types of constituents participating in the conversations.

Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for efficiently storing and viewing data in a database. Data is stored in a nested data model which includes a plurality of nodes. A plurality of edges connect the plurality of nodes. Each edge has a unique edge name. A plurality of instances of data objects are associated with the nested data model. Each instance is associated with one of the edges such that the instance is also associated with that edge's name. An instance ordinal is associated with each instance which represents the number of times the edge associated with each instance is encountered during a traversal of the nested data model. The data stored utilizing the nested data model is accessed utilizing the instance ordinal and edge name associated with each of the plurality of instances, such that the data is accessed as being flat without flattening the nested data model.
