  • Publication number: 20240134885
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method comprises obtaining export data representing a first classification in a first database that is to be imported into a second database, the first classification including a first set of classification markings that correspond to a first classification scheme identifier of the first database and that determine access to the first database and including a first plurality of origin classifications, each original classification of the first plurality of origin classifications including a classification scheme identifier; determining that a specific original classification of the first plurality of origin classifications has a specific classification scheme identifier matching a second classification scheme identifier of the second database; importing the specific original classification into the second database as an imported classification.

  • Patent number: 11886410
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method comprises receiving, by a processor, search requests to search a database; receiving a reindex request to reindex information in the database based on a new ontology for the database or a new number of shards for a first index server; initiating, by the processor, generation of a second index for the database while a first index managed by the first index server continues to be used live for responding to received search requests; completing the generation of the second index during a certain period when no search request is sent to the first index server; and in response to the completing, using the second index live for responding to received search requests.

  • Patent number: 11693877
    Abstract: A system and method providing cross-ontology multi-master replication is described. In a first embodiment a method for cross-ontology multi-master replication comprising the steps of: storing a database change comprising a property value, the property value having an exporting site property type as defined in an exporting site ontology for an exporting site; using an ontology map to map the exporting site property type to an importing site property type defined by an importing site ontology for an importing site; transforming the property value to an intermediate property value based on the importing site property type; transforming the intermediate property value to a first round-trip value based on the exporting site property type; and determining whether to export the database change to the importing site based at least in part on a comparison between the property value and the first round-trip value.

  • Patent number: 11409722
    Abstract: Systems and methods for live reindexing include receiving, at a dispatch server, a request to reindex a database, wherein, at the time the request to reindex is received, the dispatch server is configured to send queries for information in the database to a first index server, the first index server comprising a first index of information in the database. The systems and methods further include, responsive to receiving the request to reindex and while the database is live, generating a second index of the information in the database, storing the second index at a second index server, and configuring the dispatch server to use the second index server as a live index server and to no longer use the first index server as a live index server.

  • Patent number: 10936573
    Abstract: Techniques for cross-ACL multi-master replication are provided. The techniques allow a replication site in a multi-master replication system implementing an asynchronous replication protocol and an access control policy to appropriately apply received data change updates to data maintained at the site even where a data change update is missing information because of the implemented access control policy.

  • Patent number: 10762102
    Abstract: A method of incrementally replicating investigative analysis data is disclosed along with a system for performing the same. The method and system provide the ability to break a data replication job into multiple “replication chunks” which can be exported and imported separately. By doing so, the method and system can efficiently replicate large numbers of data object changes over an unreliable data network.

  • Publication number: 20190356667
    Abstract: Techniques for replicating changes to access control lists on investigative analysis data are disclosed. After a change is made in a database to an access control list (ACL) governing access to a secured component of a data object, an exporting nexus sends an ACL change network message to an importing nexus. The ACL change message includes information that importing nexus can use to apply the ACL change to the importing database. Applying the ACL change message includes using the information in the ACL change message to determine which change records for which secured components of the data object in the importing database the ACL change should be applied to. By doing so, user access to all change records in the importing database to which the ACL change is applied is governed by the new ACL, thereby preventing unauthorized access to the change records, including historical change records.
