  • Patent number: 10262008
    Abstract: In response to detecting a file upload request of a file to storage within a file repository, at least one filename metadata token is identified that includes a subset of characters of a filename of the file and that is mapped in association with the file repository using the subset of characters to at least one repository upload processing action of the file repository. Each mapped repository upload processing action, identified using the subset of characters of each of the at least one filename metadata token, is executed in association with the file upload request of the file to the storage within the file repository.

  • Patent number: 9460108
    Abstract: In response to detecting a file upload request of a file to a file repository, at least one filename metadata token that includes a subset of characters of a filename of the file is inferred using text analysis techniques. At least one inferred filename metadata token is extracted from the characters of the filename of the file, and is mapped to at least one repository upload processing action. The at least one repository upload processing action is executed in association with the file upload request of the file to the file repository.

  • Publication number: 20150331885
    Abstract: A plurality of collaboration artifacts associated with a first user are identified in a computer system. One or more features are identified from each of the plurality of collaboration artifacts. At least some of the plurality of collaboration artifacts are clustered based on similarity of the one or more features, resulting in a plurality of clusters. The first user is prompted to make a selection from the plurality of clusters and the selection of the first user is received. The collaboration artifacts in the selection are transferred to a second user.
