  • Generating a semantic graph that allows a user to intelligently and efficiently connect with people and assets involved in projects
    Patent number: 8959475
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for intelligently and efficiently connecting with people and assets involved in projects. Semantic graphs for different projects or different versions of the same project are generated based on resources (e.g., templates, documents) within these projects or versions of the same project. Each semantic graph builds a relationship among the entities (e.g., development processes) of the particular project in question. The differences between these semantic graphs is illustrated in a single unified semantic graph. The single unified semantic graph highlights the different entities that were used in these projects as well as highlights the different personnel assigned to the same entities in these projects or versions of the same project. In this manner, a user is able to quickly identify the difference processes and personnel involved in the different projects or different versions of the same project.
