Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an approach for goal-based user matching among social networking environments. In a typical embodiment, a querying user is asked to respond to a series of questions related to goals, criteria, and criteria priorities (and, optionally, a desired “degree” of separation among other users). The querying user will submit his/her responses, which are then parsed and prioritized accordingly. Based on the responses, social networking sites are then searched to identify a set (e.g., at least one) of candidate users that are potential collaboration partners with the querying user. This set of candidate users may be arranged in a list and sorted according to a best match to the querying user's responses. The list can then be provided to the querying user. In addition, invites can be sent to the set of candidate users to invite such users to connect/collaborate with the querying user.

Abstract: A standard based mapping of industry vertical models to legacy environments to suggest points of enterprise application integration. A representation of a first domain comprising industry model instance data is generated in a standard-based format from an enterprise industry model. A representation in the standard-based format of a second domain comprising legacy data is generated from the legacy environment. A set of inference rules is applied against the representation of enterprise industry model instance data and the representation of legacy data. One or more candidate legacy assets in the representation of legacy data capable of implementing an aspect of the enterprise industry model are identified. The identified one or candidate legacy assets for implementing the aspect of the enterprise industry model are then recommended to a user.

Abstract: A method, computer program product and computer system for predicting that an event identified in an event topic map meta-model will have an effect on at least one asset identified in an asset topic map meta-model. In an exemplary embodiment, a computer receives a query input from a user. The computer obtains an input of an event from the query input. The computer identifies at least one asset mapped to the event in an asset to event topic map meta-model that maps assets in the asset topic map meta-model to events in the event topic map meta-model. In identifying the at least one asset, the computer determines that the at least one asset has greater than a threshold probability of being affected by the event.

Abstract: Implementation of a meta-model service of a service oriented architecture industry model repository into a web ontology language representation of at least one topic map meta-model into a plurality of temporal scope topic map meta-models representing states of the at least one topic map meta-model at different times. The implementation includes assigning topics, occurrences, and attributes from the meta-model service to the at least one topic map meta-model. The topics, occurrences, and attributes are assigned from the at least one topic map meta-model to plurality of temporal scope topic map meta-models. The topics, occurrences, and attributes from the plurality of temporal scope topic map meta-models are converted into resource description framework triples; and the resource description framework triples are persisted into the resource description framework repository.

Abstract: A method of managing and maintaining scope in a of service oriented architecture industry model repository comprising defining boundaries and definitions of scope and scope propagation of topics, associations, and occurrences within the SOA IMR; managing boundaries and definitions of scope and scope propagation within the SOA IMR; and maintaining boundaries and definitions of scope and scope propagation within the SOA IMR.

Abstract: A method, computer program product and computer system for assigning a weight to an association between an event and an asset. To assign a weight, a first topic map meta-model is created that identifies assets and events in a topic map based index with instance ontology based on a topic map meta model that identifies assets and a topic map meta-model that identifies events. An identification is assigned in the first topic map meta-model to at least one association between at least one asset of the topic map meta-model that identifies assets and at least one event of the topic map meta-model that identifies events and a second topic map meta-model being created that identifies at least one association between at least one asset and at least one event in a topic map based index and instance ontology with weights assigned to the at least one association in various scopes.

Abstract: Managing diagram elements in a drawing becomes more challenging as the number of diagram elements increases. Placing a new diagram element in a drawing often requires manual movement of one or more other diagram elements within the drawing. Functionality can be implemented within a drawing application to automatically manage diagram elements in a drawing by applying layouts to sets of diagram elements. A drawing tool can associate a set of diagram elements and assigns them a exclusive area or region in the drawing space. Since a layout occupies an exclusive area, the drawing tool can manage the drawing space by automatically moving elements within a first layout when overlap with a second layout is detected. Managing drawing spaces with layouts reduces time spent adjusting diagram elements as a result of applying operations to other elements.
