  • Patent number: 7243092
    Abstract: Systems and techniques to generate a term taxonomy for a collection of documents and filling the taxonomy with documents from the collection. In general, in one implementation, the technique includes: extracting terms from a plurality of documents; generating term pairs from the terms; ranking terms in each term pair based on a relative specificity of the terms; aggregating the ranks of the terms in each term pair; selecting term pairs based on the aggregate rankings; and generating a term hierarchy from the selected term pairs.

  • Publication number: 20070136323
    Abstract: Systems and techniques for mapping data structures in a data processing environment to help ensure the accessibility of stored information. In one implementation, an article includes a machine-readable medium storing instructions. The instructions are operable to cause one or more machines to perform operations. The operations include receiving a first data storage schema in which a characteristic in a first dimension table is mapped by a first table and a second table and generating a second data storage schema. The first table maps the characteristic to a first object that include attributes to which time information is irrelevant to data processing activities and the second table maps the characteristic to a second object that include attributes to which time information is relevant to data processing activities.

  • Publication number: 20070073658
    Abstract: A query having multiple parts may be processed to form an intermediate results set. This intermediate results set may be partitioned into a plurality of groups. Thereafter, the groups may be sorted into a plurality of containers so that each container contains data sufficient to calculate one requested result in the multipart query. Related techniques, apparatuses, systems, and computer program products are also described.
