Abstract: Techniques for obtaining a lineage of a schema in one or more documents are provided. The techniques include using a schema to find a document that is most relevant to the schema, obtaining one or more relevant portions of the most relevant document that is related to the schema, constructing a first probe set from the one or more relevant portions of the document, using the first probe set to discover one or more documents for obtaining lineage information, discovering a second probe set from the one or more documents, and recursively using the second probe set to discover a related document.

Abstract: A user interface for masking portions of an image is provided. A controller comprised in the user interface is arranged for receiving a request for an image, determining whether access settings associated with selected portions of said image are fulfilled, and providing image data representing said image in response thereto.

Abstract: An apparatus for generating a composite media file which may comprise a processor is provided. The processor may be configured to receive an indication of information associated with at least a first media file and submit a search request for information associated with at least a second media file based at least in part on the information associated with the at least first media file. The processor may also be configured to receive the information associated with the at least second media file and generate a composite media file based at least in part on the information associated with the at least one additional media file. The processor may further be configured to provide for display of the composite media file. Associated methods and computer program products may also be provided.

Abstract: A computer implemented method, computer program product and a data processing system for managing electronic messages is disclosed. The contents of an electronic messages are segmented based on the recipients receiving the message and access control authorizing access to the segmented contents is provided to the segmented contents and transmitted to a list of recipients.

Abstract: A method and system to predict future performance of a database management system (DBMS) is disclosed. The invention uses a time series of historical data of operating parameters to predict future values of the operating parameters. The predicted future values of the operating are used to predict the future performance of the DBMS.

Abstract: An authorisation privilege for an access request is inferred when no explicit privilege exists. The inference can be performed by way of mining occurrence patterns or derived from user hierarchy, profile, click history, transaction history or role. For any access request, the respective explicit privilege or inferred privilege is verified by the database or security administrator before the access request is permitted. Conditions expressed in an access policy are evaluated on the occurrence of predefined events. The events extend beyond user access requests, and include external events, composite events and access of a referential type. The access policy is framed in ‘event, condition, access enforcement’ terminology. The access control rules can be parameterised and can be instantiated by data obtained from inference rules associated with the conditions of the policy. The conditions have an evaluation component and an inference component. The access privileges supported are: read, write and indirect read.
