20080256213 | Method and Apparatus for Syndicating Interactions Between a Client and a Web Service - The Syndicated Web Services Client (SWSC) uses RSS/ATOM feeds, to facilitate asynchronous interactions between a computerized client and a web service, without requiring a duplicate copy of the web service application on the computerized client. The web service packages a form, such as an XForm containing interactive fields used by the web service, in a RSS/ATOM feed item. The web service sends the RSS/ATOM feed item to a computerized client, wherein the computerized client is a subscriber to the web service's RSS/ATOM feed and the computerized client is in network communication with a server hosting the web service. The computerized client displays the form for use by a user. Responsive to the user of the computerized client manipulating interactive fields in the form, the computerized client packages the manipulated form in a return RSS/ATOM feed item. The computerized client sends the return RSS/ATOM feed item to the server hosting the web service, wherein the server is a subscriber to the computerized client's return RSS/ATOM feed. | 10-16-2008 |
20090099895 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING ACCESS RIGHTS TO A PROJECT TEAM AREA FOR A COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ASSET - A system and method for managing access rights to a project team area for a community development asset. The system includes an asset consumption dependency generator and a behavior pattern activity analyzer. The asset consumption dependency generator identifies a member of a project team area for a community development asset. The project team area defines access rights of individuals to the community development asset. The behavior pattern activity analyzer identifies a user within a collaborative development network associated with the identified member of the project team area. The behavior pattern activity analyzer also grants an access right to the identified user to access the community development asset based on a social map dependency between the identified user and the identified member. | 04-16-2009 |
20090106080 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING A SURVEY FOR A COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ASSET - A system and method to manage a survey for a community development asset. The system includes a response repository, a sampler, a respondent profile filter, and an inference generator. The response repository stores a plurality of survey responses from survey respondents about a community development asset. The sampler selects a sample response of the plurality of survey responses. The sample response corresponds to an identified respondent. The respondent profile filter identifies a community with which the identified respondent is associated. The inference generator infers a similar response from the community associated with the identified respondent based on the sample response of the identified respondent. | 04-23-2009 |
20090216581 | System and method for managing community assets - A system and method to manage a community development asset. The system includes an asset polling agent, a nomenclature taxonomy dictionary, and an asset discovery service. The asset polling agent identifies a descriptive term associated with an asset under development. The nomenclature taxonomy dictionary stores a list of synonym terms related to the descriptive term associated with the asset under development. The asset discovery service identifies a reusable asset of a plurality of reusable assets for use with the asset under development based on at least one term, from a combination of the descriptive term and the list of synonym terms related to the descriptive term, extracted from social network data. | 08-27-2009 |
20140258817 | CONTEXT-BASED VISUALIZATION GENERATION - An apparatus includes memory, a processor and a visualization analysis unit coupled with the memory and the processor. The visualization analysis unit is configured to detect a visualizable subject matter contained within data. The visualization analysis unit is also configured to determine a context in which the visualizable subject matter appears. The visualization analysis unit is also configured to select a visualization engine from a plurality of visualization engines based, at least in part, on the context in which the visualizable subject matter appears. The visualization analysis unit is also configured to configure the visualization engine to generate a visualization of the visualizable subject matter. | 09-11-2014 |
20140283097 | Anonymizing Sensitive Identifying Information Based on Relational Context Across a Group - Mechanisms are provided for relational context sensitive anonymization of data. A request for data is received that specifies a relational context corresponding to a selected group of selected persons selected from a global group of persons based on the relational context. The relational context specifies one or more attributes of selected persons in the selected group that establishes a relationship between the selected persons and distinguishes the selected persons from non-selected persons in the global group that are not in the selected group. For the relational context, based on a corpus of personal information data corresponding to the selected persons, key attributes in the personal information data are determined and a rarity value for each key attribute is determined. Selected key attributes are then anonymized based on the determined rarity value for each of the key attributes within the relational context of the selected group. | 09-18-2014 |
20140359421 | Annotation Collision Detection in a Question and Answer System - Mechanisms are provided for resolving annotation conflicts in a portion of content. A portion of content is received and annotation operations are performed on it using a plurality of annotators. Each annotator in the plurality of annotators generates a set of annotations for the portion of content, thereby generating a plurality of sets of annotations for the portion of content. The plurality of sets of annotations are analyzed to identify a conflict between a first annotation and a second annotation in the plurality of sets of annotations. The conflict between the first annotation and the second annotation is resolved to generate a resultant set of annotations for the portion of content. The resultant set of annotations is stored in an annotations data structure associated with the portion of content. | 12-04-2014 |

20150088888 | Concept Driven Automatic Section Identification - Mechanisms are provided for generating section metadata for an electronic document. These mechanisms receive a document and analyze the document to identify concepts present within textual content of the document. The mechanisms correlate concepts within the textual content with one another to identify concept groups based on the application of one or more rules defining related concepts or concept patterns. The mechanisms determine sections of text within the textual content based on the correlation of concepts within the textual content. Based on results of the determining, the mechanisms generate section metadata for the document and store the section metadata in association with the document for use by a document processing system. | 03-26-2015 |
