  • Patent number: 10521747
    Abstract: A system for providing a scalable semantic mechanism for policy-driven assessment and action taking on dynamically changing data includes a policy context that is a collection of ontologies that capture policies of the enterprise in a semantic, declarative grammar, in a semantic database, a performance context that receives and stores sensor data output monitoring managed assets persisted in a time-series database, a workflow context that determines the workflow process necessary to manage the managed asset based on the governance policies and sensor data, implemented using a workflow engine that supports a declarative workflow language, a decision context that contains business rules encoded in a declarative grammar, implemented using a business rule engine and in which the business rules define conditions under which an asset is corrected, and an adjudication context that defines all associations between the four contexts that are necessary to monitor and manage the enterprise managed assets.

  • Patent number: 10303466
    Abstract: A technology is described for embedding a semantic annotation in operation code. An example method may include creating an executable package file that includes operation code obtained from a source executable package file. The operation code may be analyzed to identify a program element included in the operation code that is associated with a semantic annotation. The semantic annotation may then be inserted into the operation code relative to the program element associated with the semantic annotation. The executable package file may be executed, launching a program, and the semantic annotation may be evaluated during execution of the program to retrieve semantic context obtained from the ontological data referenced by the semantic annotation. The semantic context may be processed, causing execution behavior of the program to be analyzed in relation to the program element included in the operation code.
