Abstract: Approaches for extracting data from data sources using a generic web service adaptor that implements a web services processing framework. Metadata stored in the database is read to identify specified named entities from a plurality of web service providers. Application protocol interface (API) semantics and configurations are retrieved from the metadata. Metadata objects for the specified named entities are fetched. Web services operation API signatures of the metadata objects are validated by comparing with predefined web services operation API signatures stored in the metadata. Web services operations for the specified named entities of the web service providers comprising the data sources are performed to obtain returned result objects. The returned result objects are serialized to XML using the same framework as used by the source web service. An adaptor may be configured to support the plurality of web service providers based on configurations.

Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling document storage and tracking model dynamic attributes of a document in a time-varying manner, and enable reconstruction of a document's state at any point in time. The time-varying model identifies dynamic components of documents, where dynamic components include time-varying properties that changes over time. A set of validity parameters are associated with each state of a document (the state of a document corresponds to a new version of the document that results from changes to the document), and the set of validity parameters define a validity period for the state. Instead of archiving each new version of the document that corresponds to each new state of the document, the document is archived in storage by archiving information of the states along with the set of validity parameters corresponding to each state.

Abstract: Video visitation systems and methods for correctional facilities include an audio/video processor element interconnecting an inmate station and a remote visitor station.

The event notification component may have a notification service component to generate a LOB event message for the entity event. The event notification component may have an event database to store the event message in a user event queue. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: A computerized searchable repository stores documents as structured metadata parts and unstructured content parts using single instancing. A full text index used for keyword searching includes a metadata index and a content index. A linking structure includes metadata-to-content (MD to CT) links and content-to-metadata (CT to MD) linking entries, with each MD to CT link linking a metadata part of a document to each content part of the document, and each CT to MD linking entry having one or more CT to MD links collectively linking a content part to the metadata parts of the documents that include the content part. Indexing includes metadata indexing a metadata part, conditionally content indexing a content part, and updating the linking structure. Content indexing is performed only if the content part does not match a content part already stored and indexed. Index entries each associate a key word or key value with corresponding metadata or content parts containing the key word or key value.

Abstract: Versioning of an archived document having at least one of a first element, a second element, and a third element, is managed. The first element is mapped to a source set identifier, the second element is mapped to a first source identifier, and/or the third element is mapped to a second source identifier. The source set identifier, the first source identifier, and the second source identifier are agnostic to a type of the document and a method in which the document is captured. A determination is made as to whether the document comprises a copy of an existing document in an archive, a new version of an existing document in the archive, or a new document to be stored in the archive based upon an analysis of the mapped at least one of the source set identifier, the first source identifier, and the second source identifier.

Abstract: In a method for managing storage of data across a plurality of disparate repositories, a partitioning strategy for storing the data into a plurality of partitions in at least one of a plurality of disparate repositories is acquired based upon a characteristic of the data. In addition, global metadata that, describes the partitioning strategy is acquired and the global metadata is implemented in a plurality of disparate repositories to enable performance of the partitioning strategy in storing the data in the plurality of partitions across the plurality of disparate repositories in a location agnostic manner.

Abstract: A method is presented for use in correctional facilities to manage resources. Particularly, the method includes using a scheduling engine capable of receiving scheduling requests from other systems or direct entry of scheduling data and which is equipped to provide reports that inform the facility of the schedules of all inmates, transportation requirements, and space accommodations. The method may be employed for evaluating the needs for transportation and space and may also be used to generate reports that show relationships between inmates based on activities, locations, and time.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products detect and manage changes in business data integration (BDI) solutions. BDI solutions include extracting, mapping, or loading source information from disparate sources as targets presented to business applications that consume targets. A method involves detecting changes in a BDI solution, classifying each of the changes based on change severity, analyzing what objects would be impacted by the changes, determining whether the objects impacted by the changes can be change handled without user intervention, and change handling without user intervention all the objects impacted by changes that are not severe. Still further, the method involves committing changes to a metadata repository and creating a deployable checkpoint of the metadata repository where the deployable checkpoint is consistent for all the changes handled in the BDI solution.

Abstract: A single virtual image of client information centrally located at an always-on network location for maintaining equivalency among multiple user devices. The image can be accessed by the user devices when coming online to upload and receive changes in the client information. A mid-tier system can be employed as the always-on central location with which the user client machines can communicate to maintain the same set of client information. Services in support thereof include an ownership service for dynamic selection of a designated client machine to take ownership for performing the actions on one client machine and arbitration of duplicate requests, a notification service for allowing data sources to publish cache update instructions to a central place, a roaming service for allowing clients machines to share state with each other, and an encryption service for secure storage and communications of client information.

Abstract: Versioning and concurrency control architecture of data operations on data of a data source by multiple independent clients of a user. Data operation messages between the clients and the data source are intercepted and tracked for serialization control to a data view instance of the data source. The architecture can be located as an always-on centrally-located system (e.g., mid-tier), accommodate data operations that include create, read, update, delete, and query (CRUDQ) against data sources, and provides support for distributed transactions, locking, versioning, and reliable messaging, for example, for data sources that do not expose such capabilities. A hash is employed for version control and to control changes at the data source. The central system also provides logic for the individual CRUDQ operations, and granular error classification to enable retries whenever possible.

Abstract: System(s) and/or method(s) (“tools”) are described that enable multiple executable ETL (Extract, Transform, and Load) packages to be built based on a single template. The tools also enable multiple executable ETL packages to be altered by altering a single template and/or set of data parameters. In some embodiments the tools provide many types of templates that are capable, once instantiated with data parameters, of performing many different types of processes useful in extracting, transforming, and/or loading data from databases to a data warehouse. In so doing, the tools can help users to more easily, accurately, and/or robustly build ETL packages.
