Abstract: An apparatus for reconciling data inconsistencies between indexes may include a processor and memory storing executable computer code causing the apparatus to at least perform operations including retrieving first metadata from a key value store in response to receipt of a request for data associated with a user. The computer program code may further cause the apparatus to retrieve second metadata from a text index in response to querying the text index for the second metadata. The second metadata may correspond to the first metadata of the key value store. The computer program code may further cause the apparatus to evaluate the first metadata of the key value store and the second metadata of the text index to determine whether there are any differences between the first metadata and the second metadata. Corresponding methods and computer program products are also provided.

Abstract: A method and a scripting paradigm for automatically integrating disparate information systems (e.g., web services and databases) within a given enterprise into a service-oriented architecture. A script writer generates a script using a scripting paradigm, and the resulting script automatically derives new data models, new ontological structures, new mappings, and a new web service that integrates disparate information systems. In addition to integrating disparate information systems, the scripts may be harvested to automate the metadata discovery and retrieval process. The scripting paradigm builds upon existing open-source scripting languages and is compatible with existing internet browsers, thus encouraging mass participation in the integration process.

Abstract: A method for providing a mechanism for safeguarding against malicious ontologies may include causing examination of a received file associated with an ontology to determine a namespace marking for subjects, predicates and objects of each triple of the file that are to be stored in a database, utilizing relationship data corresponding to the namespace marking to identify triples whose subjects or objects do not correspond to the ontology, and determining whether the relationship data enables the triples whose subjects or objects do not correspond to the ontology to be considered as a valid data set for storage in the database. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also provided.

Abstract: A system and method for integrating databases and/or web services into a searchable ontological structure. The structure allows for free-form searching of the combined system and for the discovery of an execution path through the ontology. The discovered execution path (or paths) provides for the generation of code that integrate databases and services for the purpose of fusing information from disparate databases and Web services.

Abstract: A system and method for integrating databases and/or web services into a searchable ontological structure. The structure allows free-form searching of the combined system, discovering an execution path through the ontology to provide answers to queries that may require accessing multiple systems to resolve, without a need for knowledge of the available databases and services or of query syntax by the user. The same technologies that integrate databases and web services into a single ontological structure may also provide interoperability between the numerous information systems within modern enterprises. Context ontologies are constructed to capture ubiquitous enterprise concepts and their representations across the enterprise. By mapping information system data models to these context ontologies, information that originates in one part of the enterprise may be used across the enterprise in a highly automated fashion.
