  • Patent number: 7620658
    Abstract: Exemplary techniques are described for configuring a metadirectory system used to interact with a collection of connected directory sources via a respective collection of management agents. The techniques can involve importing new management agents to the metadirectory system, updating existing management agents, or configuring the entire metadirectory system (which can involve adding or updating plural management agents). Techniques are provided for ensuring that the configuration of the metadirectory system provides partitions which conform to expected partitions associated with existing management agents and/or connected directory sources.

  • Publication number: 20080263470
    Abstract: Various exemplary metadirectories, systems and/or methods include or allow for executing a software module on an execution engine, emitting semantic information based on the executing, and analyzing the executing using the semantic information. An exemplary execution engine includes an input for receiving software modules, an output for emitting semantic information, and an output for outputting generated output information. Upon execution, an exemplary software module may cause processing of information in a metadirectory and emitting of semantic information pertaining to the processing. Various exemplary metadirectories, systems and/or methods emit and/or store semantic information in a self-defining language, an extensible language, and/or a markup language. Other exemplary metadirectories, systems, and/or methods are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20050065977
    Abstract: Exemplary methods, devices, systems, and/or storage media for organizational data management, including staging, synchronizing, and exporting of organizational data. Exemplary data aggregation rules specify methods for aggregating data from a remote repository. Schemas are exemplary rules configuration data structures having elements for associating processing data objects in a buffer space objects in a core space. The elements may also specify importing attributes into and exporting attributes from the core space.
