Abstract: The subject disclosure is directed towards providing data for augmenting an entity-attribute-related task. Pre-processing is preformed on entity-attribute tables extracted from the web, e.g., to provide indexes that are accessible to find data that completes augmentation tasks. The indexes are based on both direct mappings and indirect mappings between tables. Example augmentation tasks include queries for augmented data based on an attribute name or examples, or finding synonyms for augmentation. An online query is efficiently processed by accessing the indexes to return augmented data related to the task.

Abstract: Methods and systems of transforming ontologies of semantic web languages are disclosed. A user may adjust configuration settings for a transformation of primitives of a Semantic Web ontology language into primitives of a software modeling language.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a personal information profile is constructed for a user having a collection of information items. The personal information profile comprises one or more information topics, and each information topic comprises one or more information items. Each information topic has an interesting score, which indicates a level of interest the user has in the information topic. In one embodiment, a social network is inferred among a group of users, each having a personal information profile. A connection exists between every two users that share at least one common-interest information topic, indicated by their respective personal information profiles.

Abstract: Execution of code in a multitenant runtime environment. A request to execute code corresponding to a tenant identifier (ID) is received in a multitenant environment. The multitenant database stores data for multiple client entities each identified by a tenant ID having one of one or more users associated with the tenant ID. Users of each of multiple client entities can only access data identified by a tenant ID associated with the respective client entity. The multitenant database is a hosted database provided by an entity separate from the client entities, and provides on-demand database service to the client entities. Source code corresponding to the code to be executed is retrieved from a multitenant database. The retrieved source code is compiled. The compiled code is executed in the multitenant runtime environment. The memory used by the compiled code is freed in response to completion of the execution of the compiled code.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention provide a solution for implementing disaster recovery for an application. A subscription backup site for the application is selected from among a plurality of sites. The site that is selected will have a virtual space that is able to accommodate the workload requirements for the application. The application is deflated on the site in such as way as to operate in a dormant state. In the dormant state, the application has a small fraction of its required resources allocated to it. Thereafter, when disaster recovery is needed, the application can be inflated on the subscription backup site by allocating resources to enable the application to execute on the subscription backup site.

Abstract: Presenting changes to versioned files. The method can include presenting a first view comprising a plurality of indicators, each of the indicators corresponding to a respective version of a file. A selection of a particular version of a file can be detected. A selection of another version of the file can be detected. In response to the selection of the other version of the file, the versions of the file can be compared to identify differences between the versions. Comparison information based on the differences can be generated. The comparison information can be filtered so that the comparison information fits within a second view having a desired size.

Abstract: A data access device provided with a sequence storage unit which stores in advance a sequence for accessing the data contained in each of the multiple data units stored in a data storage section. The data access device receives and stores in the data access request storage section multiple data access requests for any of the multiple stored data units, determines an execution sequence for the multiple stored data access requests that corresponds to the aforementioned sequence stored in the sequence storage unit, locks the data units to be accessed as per the data access requests, sequentially implements the data access requests in the determined execution sequence, and removes all the locks after implementing all of the stored data access requests.

Abstract: A full-text search index for a table stored in a set of partitions of a database is refreshed. At a first point in time, table row distribution information and a table partitioning list are captured. At a second point in time, it is determined that an index refresh operation is to be performed. The captured table row distribution information is compared with current table row distribution information to determine whether there is at least one difference. In response to the determining that there is at least one difference, a text index distribution is re-aligned for any table rows that are affected by the change in table data row distribution by: generating a new table partitioning list, and indexing documents associated with table data rows that moved from one partition in the captured table partitioning list to another partition in the new table partitioning list.

Abstract: Methods, computer systems, and computer-readable storage media for utilizing breadcrumb information associated with a Web page to improve a user's search experience on a search engine page and to improve ranking of search results are provided. Breadcrumb information is identified for a plurality of Web pages and is used to create an entity data structure. The entity data structure is used to determine related search items, deep links, and query suggestions on a search engine page. Further, contextual relationships between different breadcrumb elements that are part of a breadcrumb trail associated with a Web page are identified and used to adjust a ranking order of the Web page on a search engine results page.

Abstract: A Chart of accounts (COA) is maintained as a logical set of constraints, criteria, and relationships and does not persist any of the valid combinations until a first time a particular combination is used. When any business logic or properties need to be set or referenced on an individual combination, that combination is physically persisted “just in time” and then becomes a physical combination that may be used going forward. A hash value is associated with each combination such that lookups are simplified.

Abstract: A knowledge management platform eliminates the trial and error process for analytical chemists in, for example, identifying appropriate methodologies for separating mixtures of chemical compounds. The platform allows the analytical chemists to perform a variety of searches on data existing from previous experiments, procedures, and/or processes. The platform may be employed to make faster decisions, and ultimately decreases the time taken in selecting an appropriate separation methodology.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided wherein executable files are prepared from source code without generating intermediate files. For example, rather than using a compiler to prepare an intermediate file that is then used by a linker, the compiler may stream its output directly to the linker, thus enabling the linker to perform its functions in parallel with the compiler. The system may also use a data streaming facility, such as a pipe, to stream data between the compilation and linking processes.

Abstract: Techniques to perform garbage collection in an environment where more than one software programming language is in use are described. A technique may include creating a managed proxy object in one language that creates an unmanaged object in memory in a different language. A collection of nodes is generated and maintained, where a node comprises: a reference to the managed proxy object, and a reference to the unmanaged object. A count of the nodes in the collection is maintained. When the count exceeds a threshold, the collection is traversed, and garbage collection is performed on any unmanaged object in a node when the managed proxy object in the same node has been collected. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
