Abstract: The concepts relate to data handling, and more specifically to data handling scenarios where data is revised on one computer and stored on another computer. One example can obtain a set of blobs relating to revisions of a file. The example can determine a target size of datastore blobs. In an instance where a total size of the set of blobs is less than the target size, this example can aggregate the set of blobs into an individual datastore blob. Otherwise, the example can identify new or edited individual blobs of the set and aggregate the new or edited individual blobs into first datastore blobs. The example can also aggregate other individual blobs of the set into second datastore blobs.

Abstract: Provided herein are techniques for processing a context-situated inquiry to provide results satisfying the inquiry. An inquiry and its supporting context are processed using natural language processing to determine an interpretation for the inquiry and context, and the interpretation is presented to receive corrective information for the interpretation. The corrective information is applied to the interpretation and content is retrieved based on the interpretation of inquiry and context to produce candidate results for the inquiry. Supplemental information is iteratively received to generate updated candidate results.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems to provide coordinated identification of data items across a plurality of distributed data storage repositories (datastores). In one disclosed embodiment, a single configuration management database (CMDB) controls identification rights for all CIs as they are first identified in a master/slave relationship with all other CMDBs in the distributed environment. In a second embodiment, a plurality of CMDBs divide identification rights based upon coordination identification rules where certain CMDBs are assigned authoritative identification rights for CIs matching the rules of a particular CMDB in the distributed environment. In a third embodiment, one or more of the plurality of CMDBs may also have advisory identification rights for CIs which do not already have an identifiable unique identity and can coordinate with an authoritative CMDB to establish an identity for CIs.

Abstract: A system receives entity data and other entity data, including an identification element and another identification element submitted by an entity for identifying the entity, and a contact element and another contact element submitted by the entity for contacting the entity, from the entity via a department and another department of an enterprise. The system generates scores for each of the contact element the other contact element, the scores being based on the contexts associated with the departments of the enterprise and the contact elements. The system stores an entity identifier cluster including the entity data. The system stores another entity cluster including the entity data and the other entity data, if a match exists between the contact element and the other contact element. The system outputs data stored by any entity identifier cluster that includes query-identified data, the output data being based on the scores.

Abstract: An improved approach for returning aesthetically relevant search results is disclosed. A training set of images (e.g., designer-created images) is used to train a detection engine that detects items in the images as features. A classification engine is configured to analyze the features and generate classification indices for the features. A user can select an item, and the classification index for the feature corresponding to the item is retrieved. The classification index is used to identify result images, which can be returned ranked according user action data and other parameters, such as style.

The processing rules can be defined for each zoom level of the map viewport. The method further includes executing collision verification routine to further modify the POI label rendering rules.

Abstract: Signals sensed from packaging of products are processed in a distributed reader and metadata routing system to provide metadata responses to mobile application programs. A routing system registers identifiers for different content ID schema. These identifiers are encoded packaging. Mobile device application programs are equipped with reader programs to extract identifiers from packaging. Metadata responses are identified by the ID provider of the content ID schema and extracted identifiers. The metadata routing system routes metadata responses to a requesting mobile device, supporting a variety of different ID providers and mobile device applications.
