  • Patent number: 11914631
    Abstract: A system, apparatus and methods for generating database entries and tools for accessing and searching a database from an Ontology. Starting with an Ontology used to represent data and relationships between data, the system and methods described enable that data to be stored in a desired type of database and accessed using an API and search query generated from the Ontology. Embodiments provide a structure and process to implement a data access system or framework that can be used to unify and better understand information across an organization's entire set of data. Such a framework can help enable and improve the organization and discovery of knowledge, increase the value of existing data, and reduce complexity when developing next-generation applications.

  • Patent number: 11886441
    Abstract: A method of implementing object tagging framework starts with the processor receiving a tag creation command including a tag name. In response to the tag creation command, the processor creates a current tag. The processor then receives an association command, the tag name and a source object identifier. The processor determines a source object associated with the source object identifier. The source object includes a tag value. The processor associates the current tag with the source object. The processor receives a replication command including the source object and a target object. The processor causes replication of the source object to the target object that comprises replicating the current tag with the tag name and the tag value in the source object to the target object. Other embodiments are also described herein.

  • Patent number: 11886481
    Abstract: A frame represents a concept with a set of roles and a set of linguistic rules. If a linguistic rule is satisfied, by a unit of natural language discourse (UNLD), the frame is invoked and a frame instance produced. A frame instance specifies how the UNLD, with particular values drawn from the UNLD, fulfills the roles of the frame. A frame-based search, of target content, is accomplished in response to a frame-based user query. The search result is comprised of records, where each record is a result of a match, of the frame-based query, at a location in the target content. If the frame-based query is implicit, a match requires only that the location of the target content invokes the appropriate frame. If the frame-based query is role-specific, in addition to invoking the appropriate frame, a query search term needs to be found in the value for a role of the frame instance produced.

  • Patent number: 11880378
    Abstract: At a computer system a graphical user interface is displayed on a display. The graphical user interface includes (a) a schema region displaying data field icons, each data field icon representing a respective data field from a user-selected data source, and (b) a canvas region. In response to receiving user input selecting a data field icon from the schema region and placing it on the canvas region, a block card is displayed on the canvas region. The block card includes user interface affordances to designate (i) a layout type that specifies a row-based arrangement, a column-based arrangement, or an inline arrangement, (ii) a mark type that specifies a shape for visual data marks, and (iii) one or more visual encodings. A data visualization for the data source is generated and displayed according to the layout type, the mark type, and the visual encodings specified on the block card.

  • Patent number: 11829328
    Abstract: A technique improves storage efficiency of an object store configured to maintain numerous snapshots for long-term storage in an archival storage system by efficiently determining data that is exclusively owned by an expiring snapshot to allow deletion of the expiring snapshot from the object store. The technique involves managing index data structures to enable efficient garbage collection across a very large number of data objects. When a snapshot expires, the technique obviates the need to scan the numerous snapshot data objects to determine which index structures are no longer needed and can be reclaimed (garbage collected). The technique is directed to management of underlying storage based on different sets of policies. When certain snapshots expire and are ready for deletion, the technique is directed to finding those data blocks that are no longer referenced (used) by any valid snapshots.

  • Patent number: 11816164
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for enhanced processing of time series data via parallelization of instructions. An example method includes receiving a query indicating time series datasets and operations to be performed on the time series datasets. Nodes associated with the query are identified, with each node associated with a time series dataset. Nodes associated with operations to be performed are generated. The nodes are assembled into query tree, with parent nodes of the query tree indicating operations that are to be applied to children nodes. Instructions for processing the query tree are generated. At least a subset of the instructions is provided to one or more compute systems for processing in parallel. Results are received, and presented in a user interface.
