  • Patent number: 8775598
    Abstract: A request for a navigated content associated with a browsing session can be received. The navigated content can be an electronic artifact which can be presented within an interface during the browsing session. The navigated content can be associated with a data source. The interface can be associated with a computing device. A usage metric associated with the navigated content can be collected. The usage metric can be a frequency and/or a duration measurement. The usage metric can be determined to be equivalent to a threshold value of a usage ruleset and can automatically persist within an offline cache the navigated content. A non-navigated content within the offline cache can be programmatically stored. The non-navigated content can be an electronic artifact linked to the navigated content wherein the non-navigated content is not presented within the interface during the browsing session.

  • Patent number: 8521762
    Abstract: In a method for generating a business process model project, a computer receives a data file comprising text, descriptive of a business process. The computer searches a sentence in the text for a keyword indicative of existence of a corresponding business artifact stated elsewhere in the sentence. In response, the computer identifies an indicator in the sentence, the indicator designating a name of the corresponding business artifact. The computer identifies a business artifact based on the keyword and the indicator. The computer generates a business process model project based in part on the business artifact.
