Patent number: 9449073Abstract: A processor-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product measures and displays facets in context-based conformed dimensional data gravity wells. Conformed dimensional objects and synthetic context-based objects are parsed into n-tuples. A virtual mass of each parsed object is calculated, in order to define a shape of multiple context-based conformed dimensional data gravity wells that are created when data objects that are pulled into each of the context-based conformed dimensional data gravity well frameworks on a context-based conformed dimensional gravity wells membrane. Data from the multiple context-based conformed dimensional data gravity wells then populates nodes in a data model. A displayed appearance of the particular context-based conformed dimensional data gravity well is dynamically adjusted according to how many parsed synthetic context-based objects are pulled into the particular context-based conformed dimensional data gravity well.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2015Date of Patent: September 20, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Samuel S.

Patent number: 9251237Abstract: A processor-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product generates and utilizes a synthetic context-based object to locate a user-specific data store. A processor associates a non-contextual data object with a context object to define a synthetic context-based object. The synthetic context-based object is associated with at least one specific data store that contains data that is associated with data in the non-contextual data object and in the context object. The processor determines a subject-matter of interest for a specific user, and associates that determined subject-matter of interest to a specific synthetic context-based object. In response to receiving a request for data from a specific user, the request is directed to the specific synthetic context-based object that describes the subject-matter of interest for that specific user. This specific synthetic context-based object locates the appropriate data store in order to return the requested data to the specific user.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2012Date of Patent: February 2, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Samuel S.
