| 20160124998 | DEBUGGING A GRAPH - In certain aspects, a method includes: receiving a first graph that includes components and flows, the components representing operations performed on data records, the flows representing flows of data records between components; receiving a specification that is separate from the first graph, the specification defining one or more insertions, each of the insertions associated with a flow of the first graph; generating one or more components that each corresponds to one of the insertions; and generating a second graph that includes components and flows that correspond to at least some of the components and flows of the first graph and the one or more generated components. | 2016-05-05 |
| 20160124999 | CONTENT DATABASE GENERATION - Systems and methods for simplifying data structuring in a database by applying a first content structure to interrelate a plurality of data packets and refining the interrelations based on data packet attributes are disclosed herein. The system can include a memory including: a structure database that can include a content structure including a plurality of content categories; and a content library database. The content library database can include a plurality of data packets. The system can include a server that can receive a plurality of data packets, organize the content according to the content structure, and update the organization of at least some of the data packets based on a determined attribute of those data packets. | 2016-05-05 |
| 20160125000 | HISTORY PRESERVING DATA PIPELINE - A history preserving data pipeline computer system and method. In one aspect, the history preserving data pipeline system provides immutable and versioned datasets. Because datasets are immutable and versioned, the system makes it possible to determine the data in a dataset at a point in time in the past, even if that data is no longer in the current version of the dataset. | 2016-05-05 |
