Abstract: Methods and systems for converting user data from disparate sources to bitmap data are described, where user data from a plurality of different data sources are conformed to a conformed user data set using a conform mapping schema, and the conformed data set is then analyzed to create a bitmap mapping schema which provides a mapping from the conformed user data set to a bitmap data set. The conformed user data set is then converted to a bitmap data set using the bitmap mapping schema and the current user data in the conformed user data set. A query user interface (UI) may be provided to allow clients or others to query the resulting bitmap data set.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates merging different versions of a database object. During operation, the system receives metadata associated with a first version of a database object and a second version of the database object. The system then compares metadata associated with the first version with metadata associated with the second version to create a difference report. Next, the system uses the different report to create an action plan that specifies how to merge the metadata associated with the first and second versions of the metadata object.

Abstract: Subject matter disclosed herein relates to document classification and/or automated document classifier tuning. In an example embodiment, a document received from a user computing platform in an online database stored in a memory of a server computing platform may be classified based, at least in part, on a training set. Also for an example embodiment, the training set may be modified based, at least in part, on statistics gathered from user browsing behavior.

Abstract: A method of generating a diversified vertical search results listing, including listing attribute values related to search criteria and their frequency of occurrence to create a plurality of listings; creating a plurality of interval bands based on the plurality of listings; generating a random diversity score for each listing over a substantially uniform distribution within each of the plurality of bands; and sorting a set of search results for diversified listing in response to a user searching for the search criteria according to the diversity score of each listing.
