Abstract: Techniques for processing ontologies include a computer-implemented method of processing an ontology. The method includes storing data in an ontology and partitioning the ontology into a plurality of partitions. The partitions are distributed among a plurality of reasoner instances. The reasoner instances are directed to reason the partitions and the results from the reasoner instances are combined. If data is changed, an inference library resulting from the combined results may be updated by updating only those portions of the inference library affected by the changed data.

Abstract: Techniques for tuning systems generate configurations that are used to test the systems to determine optimal configurations for the systems. The configurations for a system are generated to allow for effective testing of the system while remaining within budgetary and/or resource constraints. The configurations may be selected to satisfy one or more conditions on their distributions to ensure that a satisfactory set of configurations are tested. Machine learning techniques may be used to create models of systems and those models can be used to determine optimal configurations.

Abstract: Techniques for enforcing policies. A user requests content from an application and content is retrieved from the application. A determination is made whether any policies apply to the content. A script adapted to modify processing of the content according to any applicable policies is injected into a response to the user. The script may be dynamically generated, pulled from a cache or other data store, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: Techniques, including systems and methods, for generating data are disclosed and suggested herein. Original data used in connection with one or more applications is analyzed in order to determine one or more distribution characteristics for the original data. The distribution characteristics are used to generate data that is similarly distributed. The generated data may be used as seed data for demonstrating, testing, or otherwise using one or more applications.

Abstract: Techniques, including systems are methods, for analyzing data from multiple sources are disclosed and suggested herein. In an embodiment, external information from one or more external information sources and internal information from one or more internal information sources is received. The received external information and internal information are stored in one or more data stores that collectively implement one or more ontologies. One or more conditions are applied to the external information and internal information in the one or more data stores to determine a conclusion and the conclusion is provided to a user.

Abstract: Techniques for displaying information. Policy violations are identified, based at least in part on data stored in a data store. For the policy violations, a plurality of semantic objects related to the violations are identified. Arrangements of graphical objects are displayed where the graphical objects represent the identified semantic objects and where the arrangement indicates one or more relationships between pairs of the semantic objects.

Abstract: Techniques for enforcing policies. A set of data is stored in one or more data stores. A plurality of semantic concepts for an ontology are defined and a map is constructed from the set of data to the concepts. The map is executed in order to transform data from the set of data to a second set of data. The second set of data is stored according to the ontology. The second set of data is reasoned in order to determine compliance with one or more policies.

Abstract: Techniques for reasoning data are disclosed. The techniques may include storing data in a data store which may be a semantic data store. A plurality of reasoning modules are used to reason the data in order to detect violations of one or more business policies. The reasoning modules may include semantic reasoning modules and/or pattern-based reasoning modules. Results of reasoning the data may be displayed to one or more users.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to techniques for creating policies. A plurality of objects representative of semantic objects are provided to a user. An arrangement of a subset of the objects, the arrangement representative of a policy, is received. The arrangement is converted to instructions for implementation by an application configured to implement policies. One or more of the objects may include fields and/or controls for specifying criteria of semantic objects represented by the objects.

Abstract: Techniques for implementing policies. In an embodiment, first data is stored in a first data store according to a first schema. A second schema is defined based at least in part on a policy and an ontology. Second data, which includes at least a portion of the first data, is stored in a second data store according to the second schema. Storing the second data is based at least in part on a mapping of the first schema to the second schema. At least a portion of the second data is analyzed and results of the analysis are provided to a user.
