Abstract: An initiation of an emergency communication with an emergency service associated with an emergency telephone number is detected by a mobile communications device. A completion of the emergency communication using a first communication path associated with a mobile communications service provider is attempted. The mobile communication device determines that the emergency communication using the first communication path has failed. An identity of a destination of the failed emergency communication is determined using location and telemetry data from the mobile communication device. A connection of the mobile communications device to the identified destination is facilitated using a second communication path. The mobile communications device is identified to the determined destination as an originator of the connection.

Abstract: This invention relates to a system, method and computer program product for replicating triplestore data from generic data records including: a plurality of triplestore mapping operations; a record reader for listening for data events from the generic data record and for matching each data event to one or more triplestore mapping operations; a processor for generating equivalent triples for each located data event by applying the matched triplestore mapping operation; and a data sink for receiving generated equivalent triples so that the triplestore data is synchronized in real time with the generic data records.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide an approach for creating, evolving and using a weighted semantic graph to manage and potentially identify certain information assets within an enterprise. The semantic graph may be generated by monitoring users navigating through search results which provide a set of information assets responsive to a search query. By recording the navigation path taken by many users, relationships between information assets may be identified. Further, once generated, the semantic graph may be used to present users with an indication of related information assets as part of the search results. Further still, the semantic graph may also be used to identify information assets “hubs” as well as information assets that may provide low utility to individuals within the enterprise.

Abstract: A system for automated localization of information for smart appliances identifies a user of the smart appliance via a user interface. The system receives scanned input associated with an item from a scanning component. The system requests cognitive services from an appliance cognitive localization server, where the cognitive services integrates localization information with the item information. The system provides the localization information to the smart appliance, and operates the smart appliance using the localization information and the item information. The system retrieves the localization information and the item information from an item repository during a subsequent scan of the item using the scanning device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to data cleansing, and in particular performing the semantic standardization process within a database before the transform portion of the extract-transform-load (ETL) process. Provided are a method, system and computer program product for standardizing data within a database engine, configuring the standardization function to determine at least one standardized value for at least one data value by applying the standardization table in a context of at least one data value, receiving a database query identifying the standardization function, at least one database value and the context of the data, and invoking the standardization function.

Abstract: Generating routes based on contextual risk includes receiving a destination and generating candidate routes to the destination from a designated location based on roadways available for routes and one or more fixed criteria. A contextual risk associated with each of the candidate routes is determined based on at least dynamic environmental attributes. The candidate routes are displayed on a map together with a representation of the determined contextual risk.

Abstract: Provided are a method, computer program product, and system for processing a data management request. User intent that defines properties of target data is determined. Policies and constraints for the data management request are determined. An abstract data management request that identifies source data, the target data, and the polices and constraints is created. A technology to use to process the data management request based on the user intent, policies, and constraints is determined.

Abstract: A method, computer program product and system for managing tenant-specific data sets in a multi-tenant system, by receiving a request to convert a data set in a physical data store from a first type of multi-tenant deployment to a second type of multi-tenant deployment, retrieving tenant identification metadata identifying a tenant making the request, modifying the data set in the physical data store based on the second type of multi-tenant deployment, and modifying metadata associated with an abstraction layer to allow the modified data set to be accessed.

Abstract: A method, system and computer-usable medium are disclosed for controlling the distribution of data. Data stored in a datastore is filtered according to a data release policy to generate filtered data. A data release policy agreement, corresponding to the data release policy, is generated. The filtered data and the data release policy agreement are then provided to an information consumer. The data release policy agreement is then used to enforce the data release policy.

Abstract: Techniques are described for refining the manual classification of assets classified or categorized using the terms of a business glossary. A semantic refinement mechanism is used to refine the manual classification of such assets, as well as subsequently evaluate the refined asset classifications. Further, the refined asset classifications may be used as a training set for a machine learning classifier. That is, should the classification of an asset contributing to a refinement change, the refinement based on that classification may be undone, at least in some cases.
