The techniques disclosed herein provide a synchronization engine that operates in conjunction with a service worker to dynamically store and update a working set of user data and single page application (SPA) resources from a network server to a user device. The working set can be hosted across several domains and identified by association with a user account. Accordingly, the synchronization engine retrieves the working set from the network server to enable offline execution of the single page applications. As such, subsequent requests for interacting with a single page application are then serviced by the synchronization engine using the working set retrieved from the network server. For instance, the service worker can bind user data to the application resources to enable progressive rendering through an application controller using locally available resources. In this way, the disclosed system provides a consistent user experience irrespective of network connectivity.

Domain agnostic offline runtime for single page applications

Techniques for establishing a network connection with a client device and responding to composite requests from the client device. For a composite request identifying a first action associated with a first data plugin component and a second action associated with a different second data plugin component, the first action is performed by executing a first portion of the data plugin component and transmitting corresponding response data in a first transmission to the client device via the network connection, and the second action is performed by executing a second portion of the data plugin component and transmitting corresponding response data in a second transmission separate from the first transmission to the client device via the network connection.

Cloud-based composable data layer

Techniques performed by a data processing system for caching data herein include initializing a single instance of a persisted cache service on the data processing system, receiving data requests from a plurality of single page applications (SPAs) on the data processing system, processing the data requests using the persisted cache service to obtain requested data from a cache implemented on the data processing system or from one or more remote data sources via a network connection, and providing the requested data obtained from the cache or the one or more remote data sources to an SPA of the plurality of SPAs from which each data request originated.

Persisted data cache service

Disclosed herein is a system configured to implement a service worker capable of serving multiple single page applications (SPAs) that are hosted in the same uniform resource locator (URL) space (e.g., a domain within which the SPAs are hosted). Accordingly, the defined scope of the service worker is no longer bound by only one SPA, but rather by a root directory of a web site that hosts multiple SPAs. Since the service worker described herein serves multiple SPAs, the service worker implements an approach to ensure that a correct application controller corresponding to the SPA that hosts a URL is invoked. To do this, the service worker is configured to leverage a router and a routing table to associate a URL included in a request from a browser with the correct application controller corresponding to the SPA that hosts the URL for which the request is sent.

Service worker configured to serve multiple single page applications

Document tags are rapidly indexed using a text based index and a graph index. A tag signal is received. A tag and a type of the tag that are located in the tag signal are stored in a data store. The tag is indexed as a tag document in the text based index. One or more relationships between the tag and a content document are managed in the graph index.

Rapid indexing of document tags

Computer systems, devices, and associated methods of providing personalized content suggestion are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method performed by a search engine includes receiving an indication to perform a search for content items from a member. In response to the received indication, the search engine generates a list of content items represented as nodes in an interaction graph. The nodes uniquely correspond to the member from whom the indication to perform the search is received. In the nodes, at least one is indirectly connected to a node representing the member via at least one other node in the interaction graph.

Personalized content suggestions in computer networks

A method and system for providing a seamless transition between applications is disclosed. The system includes a framework which includes an application manager for managing operations of the system, a component retriever in communications with the application manager for retrieving components associated with the applications, a data retriever in communications with the application manager for retrieving data associated with the applications, a memory for storing the retrieved components or data, and a service group including one or more services associated with applications.

Connected application experience

A cache that can be stored in a user partitioned region of storage and utilized to reduce the amount of time required to present content responsive to content requests is described. A request for content associated with a region of a user interface can be received and data corresponding to a list item in a cache can be accessed. Content associated with the data can be presented in the region of the user interface via a same presentation as a most recent presentation of the content. At a time subsequent to when the content is initially presented in the region, new data associated with the list item can be retrieved. In examples where the new data corresponds to updated data, the presentation can be modified based partly on the updated data and the new data can be written to the cache in a location corresponding to the list item.

Reduced page load time utilizing cache storage

Expertise mining features are provided based in part on the use of an expertise mining algorithm and expertise mining queries. A method of an embodiment operates to provide an expanded feedback query based in part on search results using an expertise mining query and a number of author-ranking heuristics used to rank authors and/or co-authors (e.g., primary authors, secondary authors, etc.) as part of an expertise mining operation. A search system of an embodiment includes an author ranker component to rank authors based in part on an expertise mining query and author-ranking heuristics, and a query expander component to provide expanded queries as part of identifying relevant search results. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

Discovering expertise using document metadata in part to rank authors

A search environment of an embodiment includes name mining and matching features used in part to identify people-centric queries and provide an enriched search experience, but is not so limited. A method of an embodiment operates to provide an expanded query based in part on a geometric similarity measure, an edit distance measure, a string similarity measure, and a cumulative similarity measure. A search system of an embodiment includes a mined candidate generator component and a name matcher component used in part to identify name queries and provide an expanded query that includes original query terms and one or more valid mined names. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
