Publication number: 20140324977Abstract: An enterprise-based social networking application. Events for individuals may be collected from various enterprise-based information systems automatically using adaptors that are specially tailored for particular types of information systems. Such events may then be used to populate event feeds regarding individuals in that enterprise. A filtering model for formulating event feeds identifies events by individual, event type, and event time. The filter also identifies which individuals are in which group of a participant, and identifies which groups correspond to which event types. Incoming events may then be filtered into the event feeds depending on the group to which the individual belongs. Filtering an event from an events pool to formulate an event feed is also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 8, 2014Publication date: October 30, 2014Inventors: Sandhya D. Jain, Ning Jiang, Gary L. Caldwell, Donald A. Ramsay, JR., Gail Borod Giacobbe, Venkatesh Veeraraghavan

Patent number: 7681185Abstract: System(s) and/or method(s) (“tools”) are described that enable multiple executable ETL (Extract, Transform, and Load) packages to be built based on a single template. The tools also enable multiple executable ETL packages to be altered by altering a single template and/or set of data parameters. In some embodiments the tools provide many types of templates that are capable, once instantiated with data parameters, of performing many different types of processes useful in extracting, transforming, and/or loading data from databases to a data warehouse. In so doing, the tools can help users to more easily, accurately, and/or robustly build ETL packages.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2005Date of Patent: March 16, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Rahul Kapoor, Sandhya D Jain

Publication number: 20090222448Abstract: An enterprise-based social networking application. The events pool for the social networking application may be automatically populated without requiring direct individual participation in the social networking application. Furthermore, networks may be established automatically, without an expressed invitation. The default network may be based on a participant's communication history and/or organization context within the enterprise. The participant may then edit or expand the network without necessarily requesting permission for the individuals being added, and without necessarily being part of that individual's network.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 29, 2008Publication date: September 3, 2009Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Gary L. Caldwell, Donald A. Ramsay, JR., Ning Jiang, Sandhya D. Jain, Gail Borod Giacobbe, Venkatesh Veeraraghavan
