Patent number: 9659089Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for managing work and personal items. Information is received from a user to populate a user profile providing rules to determine a priority for work and personal items to be addressed by the user. Work and personal data sources (e.g., e-mails, social media) are monitored. The content in these monitored data sources are scanned and analyzed for work and personal items to be addressed by the user. These work and personal items are then presented to the user in a prioritized order based on the rules in the user profile. In this manner, the user is able to effectively manage the various work and personal items from various data sources by receiving a prioritized list of work and personal items that need to be addressed based on various factors that the user deems to be important as provided in the user's profile.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2013Date of Patent: May 23, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Donald E. Buddenbaum, Peter F. Haggar, Heather M. Kreger, Arnaud J. Le Hors, John V. Meegan, Keith A. Wells

Patent number: 8612489Abstract: For each of a plurality of concepts indicated in an XBRL schema associated with an XBRL instance, concept relationship information is determined. The concept relationship information is determined from the XBRL schema, context information indicated in the XBRL instance, and at least one of a plurality of files that constitute a taxonomy set for the XBRL instance. Attribute information is determined for each concept based, at least in part, on the XBRL schema and at least one of the files that constitute the taxonomy set. An XML document is generated with XML elements structured in accordance with the concept relationship information. Each of the XML elements is populated with corresponding ones of XBRL facts to yield the structured XML data model instance.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2011Date of Patent: December 17, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Christopher B.
