Publication number: 20170154066Abstract: An approach to enable subscription to a remote content repository without a native subscription service based on a change monitor deployed near the remote content repository. The change monitor takes advantage of a change log associated with the content repository to determine when changes to the repository occur and compares the changes from the change log to a subscription list provided from a subscription datastore. When changes in the repository match the subscription list then the change monitor sends a change notice toward the subscriber. The change monitor manages the subscription list based on polling the subscription datastore and replies to change notices indicating notices for subscribed objects are no longer necessary.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2015Publication date: June 1, 2017Inventors: Hai Ji, Xu Hua Li, Yongliang Li, Yuan Yuan Li, Randal J. Richardt, Hailin Wang

Patent number: 7328208Abstract: A method and system for improving text searching is disclosed. The method and system provides a network of document relationship and utilizes the network of document relationships to identify the region of documents that can be used to satisfy a user's request. In a preferred embodiment, the text searching method in accordance with the present invention augments a conventional text search by using information on document relationships and metadata. The text searching method and system improves upon conventional text search techniques by incorporating relationship metadata to define regions to search within. In the present invention the definition of a region is not limited to just categories as it includes neighborhoods around individual documents and sets which have been user defined.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2005Date of Patent: February 5, 2008Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Michael J. Dockter, Jochen F. Doerre, Ronald W. Lynn, Joseph A. Munoz, Randal J. Richardt, Roland Seiffert

Patent number: 7171413Abstract: A method, system and article of manufacture for two phase intermediate query security using access control. A networked client-server computer system having a plurality of users of the client-server system and including software performing database queries via a DBMS for users of the system implements the method. The method includes receiving a query string from one of the users by the client system, the query string including references to database objects. The received query string is transformed by the client system to an intermediate query string, and a first phase query security is performed by the client system including identifying the referenced database objects and inserting a security marker into the intermediate query string for each respective identified database object, and sending the intermediate query string to the server system.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2003Date of Patent: January 30, 2007Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Nicholas K.

Patent number: 7043490Abstract: Methods, systems, and program products for managing multimedia content. These are built upon a combination of a high level content model for specific multimedia content types and a low level physical for mapping to a data engine. The method, system, and program product include representing multimedia content management objects and managing the objects in a relational database. The relational database is adapted for representing data in a plurality of relational database tables, where each of the relational database tables has at least one row with a plurality of columns. Content is managed by associating the object as an item to a row in a first relational database table; and associating additional components, if any, of the object to additional relational database tables.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2002Date of Patent: May 9, 2006Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: David M.
