  • Publication number: 20080306959
    Abstract: The patent describes a single location and application on a network where a user can organize public, group, and private/personal information and have this single, location accessible to the public. A new, ontology-driven portal that organizes all three categories of data according to various “facets” using underlying ontologies to define each “facet” and wherein any type of information can be classified and linked to other types of information is disclosed. An application that enables a user to effectively utilize and manage knowledge and data the user posses and allows other users to effectively and seamlessly benefit from the user's knowledge and data over a computer network is also disclosed. A method of processing content created by a user utilizing a semantic, ontology-driven portal on a computer network is described. The semantic portal application provides the user with a content base, such as a semantic form or meta-form, for creating a semantic posting.

  • Publication number: 20080189267
    Abstract: Among other disclosure, computer-implemented methods and computer program products for obtaining data from a page. A method can include initiating a harvesting process for a page available in a computer system. The method can include identifying a feed representation that has been created for the page. The method can include retrieving and storing, as part of the harvesting process, at least a portion from the page based on information in the identified feed representation. The feed representation can include at least excerpts of content from the page. The feed representation can include at least one representation selected from: an RSS feed, an Atom feed, an XML feed, an RDF feed, a serialized data feed representation, and combinations thereof.

  • Patent number: 7398261
    Abstract: Methods and systems for managing and tracking semantic objects are disclosed herein. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a system of, managing a semantic collection. One embodiment can include, receiving a request to create the semantic collection comprising a set of semantic objects, creating a semantic link between the set of semantic objects via updating metadata associated with the set of semantic objects, and identifying a set of rules to be associated with the semantic collection. In one embodiment, the metadata associated with the set of semantic objects is undated based on the set of rules. In a further aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method of tracking a semantic object.

  • Publication number: 20040220893
    Abstract: In a semcard management application, a user interface that consists of several panels that facilitate the use of semcards, the objects they represent, and the knowledge network is described. These panels include an entry point panel, a filter panel, a results panel, and a viewer. One category of entry points is referred to as “context” entry points. Contexts allow semcards to be organized into hierarchically arranged categories. After the user has created a context, this context can be used as an entry point to a set of semcards meeting a certain criteria.

  • Publication number: 20040158455
    Abstract: A data construct referred to as a semcard is described. A semcard is a semantic (meaning-based) software object comprised of semantic meta-tags and meta-data that describes a target object or thing. A target object can be any type of digital or physical entity or identifier, or it can be tacit knowledge, such as ideas, concepts, processes or other data existing in a user's mind, provided that the user represents this knowledge in the semcard. A semcard also embodies information about its own structure—rules, history, state, policies and goals regarding automation, display, access permissions, sharing and other operations of the semcard and any optional target object, which may be contained within the semcard or be external to it. It can also represent a semantic link between two semcards, or between a semcard and its referent target.
