Abstract: A data dependency path calculator for a semantic search engine is provided. A body of semantically related data is modeled according to a semantic data model. A user is presented a list of data elements from which they may select desired data elements. The system automatically calculates all of the possible paths through the database that may be used to retrieve meaningful data based on the selected data elements. The available data dependency paths are returned to the user for selection. The system further provides a type of data permission that allows restricted data elements to be used as a pass-through data element for relating, connecting and retrieving non-restricted data. Thus, a user can use restricted data to create data dependency paths to retrieve meaningful data.

Thus, a user can use restricted data to create data dependency paths to retrieve meaningful data. The system further provides for defining access privileges for all levels of data structures, allowing data to be secured with an increased level of granularity than previously possible.

Abstract: A method for repairing a drainage system adjacent a foundation wall includes the step of digging a first ditch to provide access to a section of drain tile, removing that section of the drain tile, digging a second ditch to provide access to a damaged area of the foundation, the second ditch being of a width that is narrower than the first ditch to provide support areas of undisturbed earth. The damaged area is then repaired and a rigid pipe installed and supported on the support areas. Since the rigid pipe is supported on support areas, no sagging of the replaced portion of the drainage system will occur in the event that the underlying earth settles or becomes unstable.
