Abstract: Link association analysis systems are presented. Disclosed systems are configured to analyze links created by users and to determine possible reasons underpinning why a user would create such a link. The system derives such reasons by analyzing the context within which the link was created and to which the link points, and then presents the reasons as a data object to users for feedback. The system can be made to be self-refining by collecting survey data regarding its accuracy, so that the more users interact with the system, the more accurate the system is at deriving reasons for link creation.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes techniques for adding a marker to a second document, the marker corresponding to a marker in a first document.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for deleting archive records from a distributed archive database system (DADS). A deletion job scheduler (DJS) can run deletion jobs on a regular basis. For example, the DJS can run a deletion job for archive records of a tenant that have a particular object type.

The DJS can then query the DADS using index keys to retrieve archive records that are within the deletion window and belong to the tenant such that they are ordered from oldest to newest based on their respective created dates. The DJS can then identify which of those archive records have expired, and mark them for deletion.
