Abstract: A system and method are provided for indexing and mining content of multiple data sources. The method includes: providing a database of learned content of multiple data sources learned using text analysis, the learned content identifying one or more concepts to which a data source relates, wherein the concepts are cognitively associated with the data source and include concepts not explicitly referenced in the data source and providing an index of the learned content including associations between concepts with mappings between concepts and the multiple data sources. The method further includes receiving input of a query and using text analysis to analyze the query to determine one or more query concepts to which it relates and mining the indexed concepts in response to the query concepts to return a list of referenced data sources.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for managing content creation of data sources. The method includes: analyzing content of a data source while simultaneously identifying one or more alternative data sources having similar concepts of the content of the data source, the similar contents based on a degree of similarity between the concepts of the data source and one or more concepts of the one or more alternative data sources. The method further includes providing an indication based on a degree of similarity for performing a defined operation on the one or more alternative data sources in relation to the data source.

Abstract: A computer-implemented mechanism is provided that monitors usage of one or more computing resources within a set of computing components relative to a received workload. The mechanism calculates a maximum workload for the set of computing components from the monitored use of the computing resources within the set of computing components and determines an available overhead between the calculated maximum workload for the set of computing components and a current workload being performed by the set of computing components. The mechanism selects one or more maintenance tasks for the set of computing components, the total workload of the selected maintenance tasks being less than the determined available overhead.
