  • Arbitration mechanisms to deal with conflicting applications and user data
    Patent number: 8015570
    Abstract: An arbitration policy resolves software applications operating on a single unit of data in a manner conflicting with other applications that operates on the same data or properties of the data. This is accomplished through picking an entity type of one application to have priority over an entity type of another application when both entity types map to a same property which caused the conflict. This allows user to observe the data in a consistent manner when switching between applications.
    Type: Grant

  • Defining and extracting a flat list of search properties from a rich structured type
    Patent number: 7502807
    Abstract: Rich structured data for items in a file system that allows different kinds of data to be identified by metadata is mapped into a set of search properties for a desktop search service, which is a flat list. This is applicable to any rich structured data that should be mapped into search properties for a desktop search service. Included is an installation mechanism to install these mappings and an execution infrastructure for utilizing the generated SQL from the mappings to extract search properties from items.

  • Component for extracting content-index data and properties from a rich structured type
    Publication number: 20080005062
    Abstract: Installing the content-index definitions includes parsing content-index definitions in a schema, generation of appropriate SQL statements for data extraction and storing the SQL statements. A run time infrastructure for extracting data to be content-indexed from the highly structured entity types is provided. This logic includes looking up the type of the item and its associated entities that need to be content-indexed, executing the corresponding data extraction code (SQL statements) and sending it to a protocol handler for content-indexing. Also included is an execution infrastructure for utilizing the generated SQL from the mappings to extract search properties from items.
