  • Indication of exclusive items in a result set
    Patent number: 7747612
    Abstract: The present invention is directed towards systems and methods for generating and displaying the difference between a primary result set and a secondary result set. According to the present invention, a method for displaying the difference between a primary result set and a secondary result set for a query comprises generating a primary result set and a secondary result set, the primary result set and secondary result set generated according to one or more respective disparate search algorithms. A difference result set is determined according to a difference between items in the primary result set and second result set, which is displayed to a user.
    Type: Grant

  • Vocabulary and syntax based data transformation
    Patent number: 7284196
    Abstract: A framework for accomplishing vocabulary-based data transformations, for interfacing systems of disparate data formats. The framework is layered to separate the terms of documents form the underlying concepts corresponding thereto. The layers include an ontology layer for defining concepts, a vocabulary layer for labeling the concepts, a specification layer that specifies the concepts and labels, and a representation layer for encoding data in conformance with the specification layer. The separation enables the relationships between existing transformations to be automatically leveraged for minimizing user input for creating new transformations.
