Abstract: Systems and methods for information exchange using generic data streams, wherein a data stream is sent from one computer system to another, and the receiving computer system is not aware of the structure of the information in the data stream. A header of the data stream includes a description of a data object. A body of the data stream includes information for instances of a data object stored on a computer system. The object is compliant with the description provided in the header of the data stream. The information in the body of the stream is extracted based on the description provided in the header of the data stream. A user interface (UI) is dynamically created based on the description of data object to display portions of the received information, and further to allow a user to change the information.

Abstract: Some aspects include determination of a first relationship between a first entity and a second entity, determination of a first trust coefficient associated with the first relationship based on a first generation rule, determination of a second relationship between the first entity and the second entity, determination of a second trust coefficient associated with the second relationship based on a second generation rule, and determination of a trust value of an aggregated relationship between the first entity and the second entity based on the first trust coefficient and the second trust coefficient. In some aspects, it is determined that the trust value exceeds a threshold, the aggregated relationship is presented to the first entity, a confirmation of the aggregated relationship is received from the first entity, and at least one of the first generation rule and the second generation rule is changed based on the confirmation.

Abstract: Some aspects include association of fields of a data source with one or more entity identities, one or more relation identities, and one or more attributes corresponding, respectively, to entity identities, relation identities and facet attributes defined in metadata of an enterprise social network, and reception of data from the data source. Also included is a determination, based on the data and the associated fields of the data source, of one or more source entities, one or more source entity identities associated with each of the one or more source entities, one or more source relations, one or more source relation identities associated with each of the one or more source relations, and one or more source facets associated with one or more source entities or source relations. For each determined source entity, it is determined if any of the one or more associated source entity identities is identical to an entity identity of the enterprise social network.

Abstract: Some aspects include determination of a first set of attribute-value pairs associated with an entity, the first set of attribute-value pairs comprising a plurality of attributes and first values, and respective ones of the first values corresponding to each of the plurality of attributes, determination of a second set of attribute-value pairs associated with the entity, the second set of attribute-value pairs comprising the plurality of attributes and second values, and respective ones of the second values corresponding to each of the plurality of attributes, and generation of index entries, each of the index entries indicating one of the first set or the second set of attribute-value pairs, an attribute of the indicated set of attribute-value pairs, a value of the attribute of the indicated set of attribute-value pairs, and the entity.
