  • Patent number: 11968214
    Abstract: Particular aspects of this disclosure relate to computerized systems for generating and using improved data structures and functionality to efficiently render different multiple access-controlled resources (or properties of access-controlled resources) that are part of a concept. Often times, two or more resources of a concept or properties of a resource are subject to different access controls. This adds computing complexity as to whether or not a user is granted access to the entire concept or resource, a portion of the concept or resource, or none of the concept or resources and what exactly is surfaced back to the user when there are resources or properties the user does and does not have access to. Some embodiments accordingly render an efficient composite view of concepts or resources where some resources or properties are accessible by the requesting user, while other resources or properties are not accessible by the requesting user.

  • Patent number: 11868328
    Abstract: A method of maintaining a key-value store comprising a first record structure in which each key comprises an index and each value comprises a respective set of item IDs, and a second record structure in which each key comprises an item ID and each value comprises a respective item of data. Each new item ID of a group is added, starting at the root level of a tree structure: I) determining whether the current record will exceed a maximum size limit if the new item ID is included therein, and if not, including the new item ID, but II) if so, identifying a number of records at the next level of the tree structure, and applying a deterministic transformation to the item ID of the new item to determine one of the identified number of records, and repeating from I) with the determined record now as the current record.

  • Patent number: 11847145
    Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for aliased data insertions/retrieval for key-value stores. In aspects, a data set comprising a primary key, one or more secondary keys (“aliases”), and data values may be received by a data storage system. The system may allocate an internal identifier to the primary key and store the internal identifier and the primary key in a first table. Each of the secondary keys may be used to create a key-value pair comprising the secondary key and the internal identifier. The key-value pair(s) may be stored in the first table with the corresponding primary key. The internal identifier and the data values may be stored in a second table. Subsequently, the primary or secondary key may be used to interrogate the first table for the internal identifier. The internal identifier may then be used to interrogate the second table for the data values.

  • Publication number: 20230315741
    Abstract: Techniques of federation of data during query time are disclosed herein. One example technique includes upon receiving an indication of interaction of a file by a user of a tenant, determining whether automatic replication of the file to a user shard corresponding to the user is permitted according to a company policy or a legal requirement, the user shard being in a second geographic region. The example technique can then include when automatic replication of the file is not permitted, storing the file in a tenant shard corresponding to the tenant in a network storage in the first geographic region and instead of replicating the file to the user shard in the second geographic region, creating, in the user shard in the second geographic region, a file reference that is a pointer to the file stored in the tenant shard in the network storage in the first geographic region.

  • Patent number: 11709878
    Abstract: Examples described herein generally relate to a computer system for generating a knowledge graph storing a plurality of entities and to displaying a topic page for an entity in the knowledge graph. The computer system performs a mining of source documents within an enterprise intranet to determine a plurality of entity names. The computer system generates an entity record within the knowledge graph for a mined entity name based on an entity schema and the source documents. The entity record includes attributes aggregated from the source documents. The computer system receives a curation action on the entity record from a first user. The computer system updates the entity record based on the curation action. The computer system displays an entity page including at least a portion of the attributes to a second user based on permissions of the second user to view the source documents.

  • Publication number: 20220318426
    Abstract: The technology described herein protects the privacy of data stored in a knowledge graph (“graph”) by enforcing privacy policies when returning information in response to a query or other attempt to extract information from the graph and/or about the graph. In one aspect, unauthorized information is trimmed from the information output in response to a query. In other words, the privacy policy for a knowledge graph is enforced during the information extraction process. This is in contrast to other methods that attempt to enforce privacy policies at the information ingestion process or through some other service-level process after information is output from the graph. The privacy policies may be stored in a node of the graph.

  • Publication number: 20220222249
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and software for facilitating enhanced search services. In an implementation, an enhanced search service receives a search query associated with a user and responsively identifies documents relevant to the search query. The enhanced search service also identifies a social label for each of the documents that is at least partly representative of how the document relates socially to the user. The enhanced search service replies to the search query with search results indicative of at least the documents and the social label for each of the documents.

  • Patent number: 11314556
    Abstract: Shadowing of local or remote information to cloud-based computing systems is provided. As content and activities associated with content (e.g., content modification activities, content communication activities, people associated with content, social networking associated with content, etc.) are developed at a local on-premises computing system that is remote from the cloud-based computing system responsible for maintaining the same content and content activities, the local content and activities are shadowed to the cloud-based system at a regular frequency so that the content and activities at the cloud-based system are synchronized and merged with the content and activities at the local system.

  • Patent number: 11068550
    Abstract: Search and navigation through navigational queries across a variety of information sources is provided. Upon receipt of a search query, a primary search is performed for information responsive to the query. Information responsive to the primary search is then used to browse one or more information sources for other information related to the result of the primary search. Navigational suggestions and navigational elements may be provided in a user interface to allow the searching user to select the result of the primary search and/or to navigate to other information items found for the primary search result from the one or more information sources. Thus, a seamless transition between searching and browsing is enabled where searching and browsing may be accomplished in response to a single searching or browsing action.
