Abstract: A knowledge model discovery system is configured to provide an interactive view having simultaneously displayed sub-views that include a relational data element view and a contextual view. Using the interactive view, a user may perform search and analysis of information organized with a knowledge management tool in conjunction with contextual information. The relational data element view may provide a relational visualization that displays data elements provided with the knowledge management tool as narrowed by the context of a user analysis. The contextual view may provide a depiction of the same data elements using a similar context. The relational data element view and the contextual view may be operated in coordination to maintain cohesiveness and similar context of the information displayed in the views.

Abstract: A knowledge model discovery system is configured to provide an interactive view having simultaneously displayed sub-views that include a relational data element view and a geophysical view. Using the interactive view, a user may perform search and analysis of information organized with a knowledge management tool in conjunction with geographic information. The relational data element view may provide a relational visualization that displays data elements provided with the knowledge management tool as narrowed by the context of a user analysis. The geophysical view may provide a geographically based depiction of the same data elements using a similar context. The relational data element view and the geophysical view may be operated in coordination to maintain cohesiveness and similar context of the information displayed in the views.

Abstract: An auction result prediction system predicts auction results. The system may determine item, seller, or auction characteristics from prior or pending auctions. The system also obtains item characteristics of an item for which a result prediction is sought, either by a buyer or by a seller. A price predictor in the system accepts the auction and item characteristics and predicts an auction result based on the characteristics. The system also determines insurance parameters for insuring online auctions, and the insurance parameters may be based on predicted auction results. An insurance policy reflecting the insurance parameters may be offered to an online auction buyer, seller, or other market participant. The insurance policy may insure, for example, that an item for sale will obtain at least a price specified by the insurance policy.
