20100316987 | EDUCATIONAL SERVICES AND CONTRACTS - Described is a technology in which an educational service provides contracts (an interface set) for calling functions that allow management of educational-related data. The interface set may be divided as interfaces to various services; roles associated with users of the educational service determine which interfaces/functions each user can call. The interfaces may include interfaces for calling course-related functions (e.g., of a course service), profile-related functions (e.g., of a profile service), membership-related functions (e.g., of a membership service) and task-related functions (e.g., of a task service). Other interfaces may include interfaces for calling plan-related functions, group-related functions, content-related functions, notification-related functions, provisioning-related functions, institution-related functions, department-related functions, utilities-related functions, standards-related functions, degree program-related functions, contextual communication-related functions and/or scoring related functions. | 12-16-2010 |

20150046493 | ACCESS AND MANAGEMENT OF ENTITY-AUGMENTED CONTENT - Access and management of a user's content may be facilitated by, in response to receiving a request for content related to a specified entity from the repository associated with at least the user's account, identifying, in a content of a file in the repository, an entity container of at least one entity container associated with the specified entity; and communicating the entity container that is associated with the specific entity to a source of the request. | 02-12-2015 |
20150046827 | AUTOMATIC AUGMENTATION OF CONTENT THROUGH AUGMENTATION SERVICES - A method of automatically augmenting content through augmentation services can include invoking a service to receive an entity determination based on the content and an entity container comprising an object of the content and one or more attributes of the object.

20090125573 | Transactional multi-package installation - Described is a technology by which storage space in the form of allocation units (e.g., clusters of a storage volume) are intentionally allocated so as to likely be non-contiguous for a file's data. For example, random selection of each of the allocation units will likely provide non-contiguous allocation units; on solid state storage media, such a random distribution of a file's data does not significantly affect access times. In one aspect, a file system driver randomly allocates the allocation units, and records the allocation units in association with the file, e.g., in a master file table or similar database. Non-contiguous (e.g., random) allocation may be on demand as storage space is needed, and/or may be performed in anticipation of needing storage space for satisfying a later request. Once the storage space is no longer mapped to a file, reconstructing that file's data in forensic analysis is more difficult. | 05-14-2009 |
20110173699 | NETWORK INTRUSION DETECTION WITH DISTRIBUTED CORRELATION - A network security system employing multiple levels of processing to identify security threats. Multiple host machines may each contain an agent that detects possibilities of security threats based on raw data sensed locally at that host. The hosts may share information obtained from local analysis and each host may use information generated at one or more other hosts, in combination with information generated locally, to identify a security concern, indicating with greater certainty that a security threat exists. Based on security concerns generated by multiple hosts, a security threat may be indicated and protective action may be taken. | 07-14-2011 |
20110252032 | ANALYSIS OF COMPUTER NETWORK ACTIVITY BY SUCCESSIVELY REMOVING ACCEPTED TYPES OF ACCESS EVENTS - An analysis system is described for identifying potentially malicious activity within a computer network. It performs this task by interacting with a user to successively remove known instances of non-malicious activity, to eventually reveal potentially malicious activity. The analysis system interacts with the user by inviting the user to apply labels to identified examples of network behavior; upon response by the user, the analysis system supplies new examples of network behavior to the user. In one implementation, the analysis system generates such examples using a combination of feature-based analysis and graph-based analysis. The graph-based analysis relies on analysis of graph structure associated with access events, such as by identifying entropy scores for respective portions of the graph structure. | 10-13-2011 |
20130305371 | NETWORK INTRUSION DETECTION WITH DISTRIBUTED CORRELATION - A network security system employing multiple levels of processing to identify security threats. Multiple host machines may each contain an agent that detects possibilities of security threats based on raw data sensed locally at that host. The hosts may share information obtained from local analysis and each host may use information generated at one or more other hosts, in combination with information generated locally, to identify a security concern, indicating with greater certainty that a security threat exists. Based on security concerns generated by multiple hosts, a security threat may be to indicated and protective action may be taken. | 11-14-2013 |

20100274750 | Data Classification Pipeline Including Automatic Classification Rules - Described is a technology in which data items (e.g., files) are processed through an extensible data processing pipeline, including a classification pipeline, to facilitate management of the data items based upon their classifications. A discovery module locates data items to process. An independent classification pipeline obtains metadata (properties) associated with each discovered data item, and one or more classifiers classify the data item based on the metadata. An independent policy module applies policy to each data item based upon its classification. Multiple classifiers may be invoked, based upon various criteria. Predefined ordering of the classifiers, authoritative classifiers and/or an aggregation mechanism handle any classification conflicts. Different types of classifiers may be provided, and each classifier may correspond to automatic classification rules; the classifier may directly change a property, (e.g., set the classification) or return a result to a corresponding rule mechanism for changing a property. | 10-28-2010 |
20120260303 | Mapping Global Policy for Resource Management to Machines - The subject disclosure is directed towards applying global policy to only select resources (e.g., certain file folders) based on property settings associated as metadata with those resources. The resource property settings correspond to a defined property set (e.g., a global taxonomy) that is consistent with the global policy. When global policy is received, the property metadata for each resource determines whether to apply the global policy to that resource. In this way, a central administrator may provide the defined property set, a policy author may provide the policy, and a local administrator may set the resource property settings. | 10-11-2012 |
