Abstract: Disclosed are a method, information processing system, and computer program storage product for managing Resource Description Framework (“RDF”) graphs in a distributed system. At least one modification request for modifying an RDF graph in a shared data store is received. The modification request includes a query set, an expected result set, and a change set associated. The query set is a set of preconditions for guaranteeing a state of the RDF graph before executing the change set. The expected result set is results expected by the query. The change set is at least one statement that changes data elements in the RDF graph. The query is applied to the RDF graph at the shared data store. A result of the query is analyzed. A transaction request, which includes the change set, associated with the modification request is sent to a server information processing system communicatively coupled to the shared data storage.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product for graphically presenting compatible workflow steps to a user through a graphical user interface are disclosed. The method includes graphically displaying a plurality of steps in a workflow. A user's selection for at least one step in a plurality of steps to denote at least one selected step and at least one non-selected step is received. The method further includes determining if a set of one or more output parameters of the selected step is acceptable as an input of the non-selected step. An appearance of the non-selected step is graphically changed if the output parameters are acceptable. The method also includes determining if a set of one or more output parameters of the non-selected step is acceptable as an input of the selected step. An appearance of the non-selected step is graphically changed if the output parameters are acceptable.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method, user interface, and computer readable medium for graphically representing compatible workflow components to a user. The method includes graphically displaying, in a graphical user interface, a plurality of steps in a workflow. A user's selection is received, wherein the selection is for at least one step in the plurality of steps The user's selection denotes at least one selected step. At least a portion of the graphical user interface is dynamically populated for displaying a list with at least one workflow component that is compatible to accept an output from the selected step. The list can also display at least one workflow component that can provide an output to the selected step. The workflow component is selectable by the user so that it can be added to the workflow.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method, information processing system, and computer readable medium for managing data conflicts in a remote shared data store. The method includes receiving at least one modification request for a set of data elements stored in shared data storage. A unique identifier is generated for at least one of the modification request and a user interface element used to perform a modification associated with the modification request. A unique identifier associated with each data element to be modified is identified. A current state of the set of data elements is analyzed. A precondition value associated with the modification request is generated based on the current state of the set of data elements. The unique identifier of each data element is associated with the modification request. A transaction request associated with the modification request is sent to a server information processing system communicatively coupled to the shared data storage.
