  • Patent number: 8402518
    Abstract: A system, method and computer program product are provided for managing authentication information for a user. According to the method, a master digital key is received from the user, and authentication of the user is obtained based on the master digital key. There is received from the user a selection of one identity from among a plurality of identities that are stored for the user. Authentication information for the user is provided into an application or web page based on the one identity selected by the user. In one embodiment, the authentication information is provided by recognizing a web page for which authentication information is stored, and automatically filling the authentication information for the user into appropriate elements of the web page.

  • Patent number: 8364690
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method, information processing system, and computer program storage product for managing Resource Description Framework (“RDF”) graphs in a distributed system. At least one modification request for modifying an RDF graph in a shared data store is received. The modification request includes a query set, an expected result set, and a change set associated. The query set is a set of preconditions for guaranteeing a state of the RDF graph before executing the change set. The expected result set is results expected by the query. The change set is at least one statement that changes data elements in the RDF graph. The query is applied to the RDF graph at the shared data store. A result of the query is analyzed. A transaction request, which includes the change set, associated with the modification request is sent to a server information processing system communicatively coupled to the shared data storage.

  • Publication number: 20080077628
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method, information processing system, and computer readable medium for managing data conflicts in a remote shared data store. The method includes receiving at least one modification request for a set of data elements stored in shared data storage. A unique identifier is generated for at least one of the modification request and a user interface element used to perform a modification associated with the modification request. A unique identifier associated with each data element to be modified is identified. A current state of the set of data elements is analyzed. A precondition value associated with the modification request is generated based on the current state of the set of data elements. The unique identifier of each data element is associated with the modification request. A transaction request associated with the modification request is sent to a server information processing system communicatively coupled to the shared data storage.
