Patent number: 11934358Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for determining available remote storages in a network to use to replicate a file based on a geographical requirement with respect the file. A determination is made as whether available remote storages satisfy constraints associated with a document class of the file. The constraints include a geographical location at which to replicate the file and a minimum number of replications to create for the file. At least one remote storage of the available remote storages is selected that satisfies the constraints to store at least one copy of the file. The file is replicated to the selected at least one remote storage.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Kenytt D. Avery, Edward L. Bader, Patricia V. Gatewood, Kevin N. Trinh

Patent number: 11429651Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product is provided for optimizing a document change or provenance scoring system by weighting sections of a document, scoring the changes for each section, and then combining the change scores for each section to generate an overall change score. An associated report may also be generated that catalogs all of the various scoring elements. The weighted score is stored in a document management system and provides a human document reviewer a level of detail to evaluate document changes. Accordingly, the weighted score reveals whether a document's changes require a brief or detailed review before the document's changes are approved for a next document version.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2013Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kenytt D.

Patent number: 11295070Abstract: A user annotation entered in association with a content document of a workflow process executed in association with a metadata context-driven processing system is detected. The user annotation entered in association with the content document is analyzed according to a process-level context associated with the content document within the workflow process. Process-level metadata of the workflow process is inferred based upon the analysis of the user annotation according to the process-level context. The inferred process-level metadata is stored as part of the process-level context of the workflow process.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2015Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kenytt D.

Patent number: 10943061Abstract: Creation of a new document-review annotation to a document in an enterprise content management system is detected. The annotation is stored as a separate workflow route selection element. It is determined that the new document-review annotation is of a particular type among sub-types that indicates a subsequent workflow process to be performed. The new document-review annotation is parsed and the particular type is extracted to be used in routing the subsequent workflow process to one of a plurality of possible subsequent workflow processes. The subsequent workflow process is launched.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2019Date of Patent: March 9, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kenytt D. Avery, Matthew D.

Patent number: 10936671Abstract: Provided are techniques for linked record declaration of related content items. A graph of nodes representing content items is generated with edges connecting the nodes and representing relationships between the content items. A content item represented by a node in the graph of nodes is selected. In response to selection of the content item, the edges of the graph of nodes are traversed starting from the selected content item to identify other content items. A record is declared in a records management system for the selected content item and the identified content items. A lifecycle policy is associated with the record. The lifecycle policy is applied to the selected content item and the identified content items when processing the record.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2017Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kenytt D.

Patent number: 10380353Abstract: Methods for enhancing the security of content in a records management system. A document is received to be stored as a record in the records management system. A unique combination of an encryption key and encryption parameters is selected for the document. The encryption key and encryption parameters are stored on a server that is different from a server upon which the document is to be stored in the records management system. The document is encrypted using the selected unique combination of encryption key and encryption parameters. The encrypted document is stored in the records management system.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2014Date of Patent: August 13, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kenytt D.

Patent number: 10380233Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing and using techniques for launching a process based on annotations made to a document in an enterprise content management system. It is determined whether an annotation has been added to a document in the enterprise content management system, wherein the annotation is stored as a separate element and the separate element is associated with the document. It is determined whether the annotation is of a type indicating that a subsequent workflow process is to be performed. In response to determining that the annotation is of a type indicating that a subsequent workflow process is to be performed, the annotation is parsed to obtain information to be used in the subsequent workflow process. The subsequent workflow process is launched. The launch uses at least some of the information obtained from parsing the annotation as parameters in the subsequent workflow process.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2012Date of Patent: August 13, 2019Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Kenytt D.
