The invention provides for a method for processing a plurality of data sets (-; DB; DB) in a data repository () for storing at least unstructured data, the method comprising: &#x2014;providing () a set of agents (-), each agent being operable to trigger the processing of one or more of the data sets, the execution of each of said agents being automatically triggered in case one or more conditions assigned to said agent are met, at least one of the conditions relating to the existence, structure, content and/or annotations of the data set whose processing can be triggered by said agent; &#x2014;executing () a first one of the agents; &#x2014;updating () the annotations () of the first data set by the first agent; and &#x2014;executing () a second one of the agents, said execution being triggered by the updated annotations of the first data set meeting the conditions of the second agent, thereby triggering a further updating of the annotations of the first data set.

Processing data sets in a big data repository by executing agents to update annotations of the data sets

A method includes receiving a request from a source service, determining whether the target service associated with the request supports a by-reference evaluation strategy, determining whether an information object associated with the request is a data reference, retrieving data associated with the reference from a database, adding the data to the information object, and invoking the target service and passing the information object to the target service responsive to determining that the target service does not support the by-reference strategy and the information object is a data reference.

Systems and methods involving information objects

A method, computer program product and system for managing tenant-specific data sets in a multi-tenant system, by receiving a request to convert a data set in a physical data store from a first type of multi-tenant deployment to a second type of multi-tenant deployment, retrieving tenant identification metadata identifying a tenant making the request, modifying the data set in the physical data store based on the second type of multi-tenant deployment, and modifying metadata associated with an abstraction layer to allow the modified data set to be accessed.
