  • Patent number: 9571460
    Abstract: A system and computer program product identifies anonymized parties in a transmitted communication. A sender replaces one or more communication party identifiers in control data within a communication with one or more anonymized identifiers before transmitting the communication to one or more recipients of the communication. A recipient receiving the communication searches a local lookup table by an anonymized identifier for a corresponding non-anonymized identifier which identifies a party of the communication. In response to identifying a corresponding non-anonymized identifier, the recipient then replaces the anonymized identifier with the corresponding communication party identifier and presents the recipient with the non-anonymized identifiers within the communication.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8775462
    Abstract: A method of searching a service oriented architecture industry model repository comprising a meta model service associated with a physical asset repository, the meta model service comprising: at least one topic map meta model with data specific to a particular topic or industry vertical included within an information model repository common meta-meta model, the information model repository common meta-meta model included within a meta-meta-meta model with a topic map based index. The method comprises: a computer receiving entry of a search term for the service oriented architecture industry model repository; the computer searching the service oriented architecture industry model repository for the search term; and displaying results of the searching of the service oriented architecture industry model repository as a topic map comprising data representing meta model service through a graphical interface.

  • Patent number: 8645904
    Abstract: An apparatus for automatically analyzing the impact of changing a business requirement on an IT infrastructure of an enterprise. A request is received to perform an analysis of an impact on the enterprise by changing a particular instance of the business requirement. A model repository is queried to determine which IT assets of the enterprise are impacted by changing the particular instance of the business requirement. An impact relevant subset of a topic map is received from the model repository representing the impact on the enterprise by changing the particular instance of the business requirement that includes the particular instance requirement as a root node and only those specific assets impacted by changing the particular instance requirement as connected nodes. Then, the impact relevant subset of the topic map representing the impact on the enterprise by changing the particular instance of the business requirement is outputted on an output device.
