  • Patent number: 10970315
    Abstract: The present invention provides a Distinct Author Identification System (“DAIS”) for disambiguating data to discern author entities and link or associate authorships with such author entities. The invention provides powerful disambiguation processes applied across one or more databases to yield a disambiguated authority database of authors. An entire database of publications may be processed by the DAIS to group/link authorships and to identify author entities. The author entities may then be matched or associated with actual authors to establish an authority database of authors. After initial evaluation, the DAIS may be used to reevaluate some or all of the database(s) and/or the authority database established by the DAIS may be used to add or update information. DAIS may use “hierarchical clustering” to link authorships and identify authors based on authorship similarity. DAIS evaluates the likelihood that authorships are from the same author.

  • Patent number: 10635410
    Abstract: A source code repository data store may contain source code module components, and a communication interface may support user displays at remote developer devices. A module coordination system computer server may access an electronic work request record, associated with a work request identifier, a release date, and at least a first source code module component in the source code repository data store. A first remote developer device may establish a first user display including individual lines of code (where each line that has been changed since a previous release of the first source code module component is tagged with an associated work request identifier and is shown in association with a developer identifier). According to some embodiments, a first user display reflects all changes dynamically that have been made since the previous release of the first source code module component, including those with other developer identifiers and multiple release dates.
