  • Patent number: 10114843
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves computer-implemented methods, software, and systems for supporting migration of unstructured data stored in enterprise content management systems. A computer-implemented method includes generating a search for content matching at least one content search rule, receiving a list of matched documents, wherein each document in the list of matched documents is associated with at least a source repository identifier and a unique document identifier, calculating a target repository identifier and at least one metadata change instruction for each unique document identifier using at least one migration rule, and modifying metadata for the document associated with each unique document identifier using the calculated at least one metadata change instruction.

  • Publication number: 20160321271
    Abstract: This disclosure provides various embodiments for archiving a business object. At least one particular business object is identified for archiving. The particular business object has associated data including type data corresponding to a business object type of the at least one particular business object, structured business data, and unstructured attachment data. At least one archive-type object is created corresponding to the particular business object by enriching the unstructured attachment data with type-specific metadata including data identifying at least one attribute of the business object type. The archive-type object is archive-system-independent. The at least one archive-type object is exported to at least one archiving system for storage in at least one memory device of the archiving system.

  • Patent number: 8478756
    Abstract: Metadata is generated that contains attribute values for a first document that in turn contains one or more key words. The attribute values of the first document are based on contextual information such as attribute values associated with other documents that contain at least one of the key words. Once generated, the metadata may be associated with the first document. Related techniques, apparatuses, and articles are also described.

  • Patent number: 7895233
    Abstract: A first subset of attributes of documents responsive to at least one restriction may be displayed. Thereafter, a selection of a graphical user interface element associated with one of the attribute in the first subset may be received resulting in a display of a window comprising an alphanumeric input element. A key word search query may be received in the input element so that a second subset of attributes of documents responsive to the at least one restriction, the attribute associated with the selected graphical user interface element, and the key word search query may be displayed. Related methods, apparatuses, computer program products, and computer systems are also described.

  • Patent number: 7707506
    Abstract: A breadcrumb may be displayed which identifies at least two restrictions of a plurality of documents in a sequence. The breadcrumb may include a graphical user interface element associated with a selected one of the restrictions having at least one subsequent restriction in the sequence. Once this graphical user interface element is selected, at least one attribute and a numeric indication of a number of the documents responsive to each restriction prior to the selected restriction that contain the attribute and each restriction in the sequence subsequent to the selected restriction may be displayed.
