Abstract: Aspects include a method for generating an initial ranking of a plurality of discovered keywords, in which the initial ranking is based on confidence levels. The method includes presenting the initial ranking to a user as a list that includes the plurality of discovered keywords. The method includes, in response to receiving a text string as a first input from the user, filtering the list of discovered keywords to generate a refined list of discovered keywords. The filtering includes searching the list of discovered keywords to rank keywords that match the input string using a fuzzy search. The method includes mapping a discovered keyword of the refined list to a business term using a fuzzy search. The method includes updating the initial ranking based on the mapping of the discovered keyword.

Abstract: A computer program is searched for one or more select terms. A first type of search is performed on source code of the computer program to search for one or more select terms in the source code. Results of the first type of search, if any, are included in a result set. A second type of search is performed on one or more particular elements of the computer program to search for the one or more select terms in the one or more particular elements. Results of the second type of search, if any, are added to the result set. Another search is performed, based on analysis of the result set. The other search searches for the one or more select terms in one or more selected source artifacts of the computer program to provide a refined result set. An action is performed using the refined set.

Abstract: Various embodiments provide access control to unprotected data storage system endpoints. In one embodiment, an authenticated query request is received. The request includes a query associated with an unprotected data storage system endpoint configured to execute queries anonymously. The query is written in a Resource Description Framework (RDF) query language and requests one or more datasets stored in a relational data storage system. A user parameter within the query is identified. The user parameter uniquely identifies a user requesting the query. The query is automatically rewritten to include a set of access control list properties for one or more subject variables in the query. Each of the set of access control list properties configures the query to return data from the one or more datasets for which the user is authorized to access.
