  • Patent number: 9183596
    Abstract: A system and method for managing access rights to a project team area for a community development asset. The system includes an asset consumption dependency generator and a behavior pattern activity analyzer. The asset consumption dependency generator identifies a member of a project team area for a community development asset. The project team area defines access rights of individuals to the community development asset. The behavior pattern activity analyzer identifies a user within a collaborative development network associated with the identified member of the project team area. The behavior pattern activity analyzer also grants an access right to the identified user to access the community development asset based on a social map dependency between the identified user and the identified member.

  • Patent number: 8275648
    Abstract: A system and method to manage a survey for a community development asset. The system includes a response repository, a sampler, a respondent profile filter, and an inference generator. The response repository stores a plurality of survey responses from survey respondents about a community development asset. The sampler selects a sample response of the plurality of survey responses. The sample response corresponds to an identified respondent. The respondent profile filter identifies a community with which the identified respondent is associated. The inference generator infers a similar response from the community associated with the identified respondent based on the sample response of the identified respondent.
