Patent number: 8839092Abstract: A displayed document comprises an annotation widget, the widget associated with an annotation document and a corresponding annotation key in an annotation store. The annotation document associated with a workflow action program. A user with a predetermined privilege selects a widget and is presented with the annotation document. The user performs an annotation task modifying the annotation document and submits the annotation document to the annotation store, the submission triggering the workflow action program to progress the workflow to another step.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2008Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jordi A.

Patent number: 8751919Abstract: Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for managing global annotations made for data elements that may be instantiated (e.g., displayed) by a variety of different type applications are provided. By anchoring the global annotations to the data element, rather than the particular data source containing the data element at the time the data element was annotated, the annotation may be retrieved from any application that instantiates or displays it.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2010Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jordi Albornoz, Avijit Chatterjee, Lee D. Feigenbaum, Sean J. Martin, Lonnie A. McCullough, Herschel J. R. Weintraub

Patent number: 8539346Abstract: The present invention generally provides methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for managing an annotation system that includes storing annotations for a document family, i.e., a series of versions of a data source. Annotations created for one version of the data source may be viewed in context from both subsequent and prior versions of the same data source. Embodiments of the invention associate annotations with both a data source “family identifier” as well as a “version identifier.” Other than adding a family ID to the data source, the data source remains unchanged. The family ID is maintained across different versions of the data source, whereas version IDs are determined for a specific version of the data source. Version IDs can be constructed from each data source directly, and do not need to be stored.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2008Date of Patent: September 17, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jordi A. Albornoz, Lee D. Feigenbaum, Douglas R. Fish, Sean J. Martin, Hoa T. Tran, David A. Wall

Patent number: 8380671Abstract: Systems, methods and computer program products are provided for creating a new annotation for a data source. According to the method for creating a new annotation, a data source version identifier is generated based on a current version of the data source, and text of the annotation is received. A new annotation record is added to an annotation data store, with the new annotation record including the data source version identifier that was generated and the text of the annotation. In one embodiment, the new annotation record further includes point information indicating coordinates of at least one part of the current version of the data source that the annotation is meant to annotate.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2007Date of Patent: February 19, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jordi Albornoz, Lee Feigenbaum, Kyle Lane Henderson

Patent number: 7870392Abstract: Digital Fingerprints are generated for data objects in a system where separate annotation files are created for data objects. This permits cross heterogeneous system relationship of a data object with associated annotations. The digital fingerprint is saved in an annotation store along with a first relationship between the digital fingerprint and the location of annotations as well as a second relationship between the digital fingerprint and location of copies of the data object. The digital fingerprint can be generated by any system that has a copy of the data object. Annotations or data objects can be found by searching for the digital fingerprint and its relationships.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2007Date of Patent: January 11, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jordi Albornoz, Lee D.

Patent number: 7865815Abstract: A method and system for displaying annotations is provided. The method includes displaying current data to a user through a GUI, displaying at least one of current and historic annotations to a user through the GUI, providing a user selectable link between the historic annotations and historic data associated with the historic annotation, and displaying the historic data to the user through the GUI when the user selectable link is activated by the user.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2004Date of Patent: January 4, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jordi Albornoz, Brian John Cragun, Lee David Feigenbaum, Sean James Martin

Patent number: 7860970Abstract: Secure initialization for detecting intrusions is disclosed. The secure initialization includes storing a behavior profile associated with an application, and reading the stored behavior profile that is cryptographically protected. The method further includes monitoring execution of the application during a bootstrapping phase of an intrusion detection system, according to the stored behavior profile. If the behavior of the application does not conform to the behavior profile, a message is issued indicating that the application is not conforming to the behavior profile. The behavior profile can be generated by a developer of the intrusion detection system, a developer of the application, and/or a third party developer. Additionally, the behavior profile is generated by executing the system on a reference computer system or by heuristic determination.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2008Date of Patent: December 28, 2010Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: Jordi A. Albornoz

Patent number: 7689578Abstract: Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for maintaining annotations for changing source documents are provided. For some embodiments, an annotation system may support multiple policies, with each policy dictating how (or if) an annotation created for a version of a source document should be applied to subsequent versions of the source document. For some embodiments, a user creating an annotation may select from a group of available policies to be applied to the annotation.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2004Date of Patent: March 30, 2010Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jordi Albornoz, Brian J.

Patent number: 7636883Abstract: In response to a user request, an annotation form is presented to a user for annotating a target document or image in a database. The annotation form is associated with the target document. A runtime program is associated with the annotation form. The annotation form selected by the user provides prompts for annotation input. The annotation input is saved in an annotation database and the runtime program performs an action on behalf of the user. Preferably the runtime program action comprises analysis of elements of the target document.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2005Date of Patent: December 22, 2009Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jordi A.

Patent number: 7502809Abstract: Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for proving global annotation services are disclosed. Global annotations are used to annotate a data element independently from the internal representation of a data element employed by a particular software application. Data elements are normalized into a form used by a global annotation system to identify the data element, and corresponding global annotations, independent from the application in which the data element may appear. An annotation cache may be used to store the global annotations that have been created for a particular data source, improving the efficiency of the global annotation system.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2004Date of Patent: March 10, 2009Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jordi A.
