  • Method and systems for enhanced ontology assisted querying of data stores
    Patent number: 10324964
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that provide high-level, ontology-based analysis of low-level data stored within an unstructured key/value store. The systems and methods allow an analyst to make sense of massive amounts of data from diverse sources without having any knowledge of the underlying physical data storage. The systems and methods provide flexible ontology assisted addressing, embedding such addressing in existing query languages such as widely used Structured Query Language (SQL), and returning results and provenance information of the results.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 18, 2014
    Date of Patent: June 18, 2019
    Assignee: MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
    Inventors: Suresh K. Damodaran, Benjamin D. O'Gwynn

  • Knowledge registry systems and methods
    Patent number: 9367610
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that provide high-level, ontology-based analysis of low-level data stored within an unstructured key/value store. The systems and methods allow an analyst to make sense of massive amounts of data from diverse sources without having any knowledge of the underlying physical data storage. Additional features include feasibility queries to determine if requested data exists in the key/value store before performing an expensive query; automatic query optimization using secondary indexes; and a usage history service to identify performance bottlenecks and fine tune the storage schema.
