Abstract: A computer system receives a published electronic document from a first source. The computer system analyzes structure and content of the published electronic document to extract information. Such extracted information can include keywords, based on content, and information indicative of relative importance of those keywords, based on structure. The computer system generates queries based on the extracted information to query a content management system of a second source of published electronic documents. The results can indicate whether the content management has content available corresponding to the query, and whether the content is published in electronic documents available from the second source.

Abstract: A method and associated systems for a deduplication module of a database-management system. The database-management system, upon receiving a request to perform a transaction that will revise a stored database record, uses memory-resident logs and previously generated database-maintenance tables to: i) identify a first logical block that identifies an updated value, stored in a physical block of storage, to be used to update the database record; and ii) further identify a second logical block that stores in the database a corresponding existing value of the same record. After determining that the first and second logical blocks reside on physical storage devices within the same storage tier, the system directs the deduplication module to associate both logical blocks with the first physical block.

Abstract: Various embodiments for enhancing storage of deduplicated data in a computing storage environment. Analytics are applied to at least one data storage characteristic observed in the computing storage environment to restructure the deduplicated data in a more sequential manner so as to enhance performance of the computing storage environment. A type of storage device associated with the deduplicated data is monitored, and the analytics are withheld from application when the type of storage device is determined to be a solid-state device. The restructuring of the deduplicated data in the sequential manner is performed by comparing the at least one data storage characteristic against at least one predetermined thresholds, one of the at least one predetermined thresholds prohibiting a particular block of the deduplicated data from being restructured when the particular block of deduplicated data has been previously moved in the computing storage environment within a predefined timeframe.

Abstract: An item is shared based on an information boundary and access control settings. An application such as a document management application detects a selection of an information boundary to manage a sharing action associated with the item. The information boundary includes rules to define how the item is shared. A selection of an access control list is also detected to manage recipients who have an access to the item. The access control list allows a recipient in the list an ability to search and discover the item. In response to a detection of the sharing action to share the item, the information boundary and the access control list is applied to the item. The item is then shared based on the information boundary and the access control list through a link of the item transmitted to a recipient.
