20100070504 | GLOBAL INFORMATION NETWORK ARCHITECTURE - The present invention provides a Global Information Architecture (GINA) to create an object-oriented, software-based modeling environment for the modeling of various data sources and allowing queries and transactions across those sources. The modeling environment is described in itself. Introspection is achieved since the model is described in the model, and early validation that the infrastructure is correct is established in that the infrastructure must execute against itself. Object traversal is done via vectors that describe how an object can be reached from other objects. Objects are linked by describing what type of object (data source) is to be reached and on the basis of what possible attribute values of that object. GINA allows different users to have different views of these data sources depending upon their WorldSpace. A user's view of the data source is controlled by his WorldSpace, which are the attributes he has that makes him unique. These attributes can include (among others) his username, roles, language, locale, and organization. These WorldSpace views can also impact the behavior of the data sources. GINA allows for object to object event driven behavior and provides a configuration centric versus coding centric methodology for integrating those various data sources. | 03-18-2010 |
20100076976 | Method of Automatically Tagging Image Data - The present invention provides a method of automatic tagging of image data taken at geographical locations, which represent points of interest (POI). In addition to the image data, each image file contains image metadata, which is structured information about the image data resources. The metadata of a POI includes its title, description, associated keywords, geographical identification data, etc., and it describes the POI as a resource of information. Each POI has its unique identifier that connects it to a record in a database, which contains the metadata of a plurality of POIs. The auto-tagging method, subject to the present invention, identifies the POI where image data has been taken. It then retrieves POI metadata from the database or reads it directly from an information tag placed within the POI, and assigns this metadata to all the image files containing image data taken at the POI. In particular, this invention focuses on barcode representation of the unique POI identifier (UPIID) and of its metadata (if the metadata is read directly during the image taking process). The implementation of this method does not require additional devices for location detection (such as GPS), and is applicable to all digital cameras regardless of type and complexity. | 03-25-2010 |

20110106802 | Fixed content storage within a partitioned content platform using namespaces - Content platform management is enhanced by logically partitioning a physical cluster that comprises a redundant array of independent nodes. Using an interface, an administrator defines one or more “tenants” within the archive cluster, wherein a tenant has a set of attributes including, for example, namespaces, administrative accounts, data access accounts, and a permission mask. A namespace is a logical partition of the cluster that serves as a collection of objects typically associated with at least one defined application. Each namespace has a private file system such that access to one namespace (and its associated objects) does not enable a user to access objects in another namespace. A namespace has capabilities (e.g., read, write, delete, purge, and the like) that a namespace administrator can choose to enable or disable for a given data account. Using the interface, an administrator for the tenant creates and manages namespaces such that the cluster then is logically partitioned into a set of namespaces, wherein one or more namespaces are associated with a given tenant. This approach enables a user to segregate cluster data into logical partitions. Using the administrative interface, a namespace associated with a given tenant is selectively configured without affecting a configuration of at least one other namespace in the set of namespaces. This architecture enables support for many top level tenants, with multiple namespaces per tenant, and wherein configuration is effected at the level of a namespace. | 05-05-2011 |

A local client device selects a set of raw sample data from a remote datastore. A local execution engine then applies one or more local data wrangling operations to the raw sample data. If the results of the local data wrangling operations are satisfactory, the local data wrangling operations may then be transferred to a remote data wrangling cluster. A remote execution engine being executed by the remote data wrangling cluster then applies the data wrangling operations to the larger set of raw data from which the sample raw data was obtained. As the remote execution engine and the local execution engine are of the same type, the data wrangling behavior exhibited by the local execution engine is reflected in the data wrangling behavior of the remote execution engine. | 06-30-2016 |
