It can be difficult to manage assets, particularly when determining ownership of assets. Systems and methods for facilitating identification of ownership of an asset include identifying an asset (e.g., an item capable of being owned), identifying one or more actors (e.g., an entity capable of owning an asset), and identifying interactions between the asset and each actor. The systems and methods additionally apply a decay factor to the identified interactions to cause a reduction in the significance of the identified interactions between the asset and each actor and produce an asset ownership score for each actor based on the decay-modified interactions. The resulting asset ownership score for each actor is provided to an entity in a fashion that allows the entity to identify a comparative likelihood that each actor is a potential owner of the asset.

Method of discovering and modeling actor and asset relationships across a cloud ecosystem

Displaying a representation of an asset. The method includes an act of displaying a different representation for at least a first actor of the one or more actors. An asset being an item capable of being owned, and actors being entities capable of owning an asset. The method also includes displaying the representation of the asset and displaying the different representation for the first actor such that a likelihood of the first actor owning the asset can be evaluated based on the representation and the different representation.
