A method is provided for identifying documents that include a searchable form relevant to a topic. A document is received. If the received document comprises a form is determined. A form includes a field presented to a user requesting information from the user. If the received document is determined to comprise a form, a determination is made concerning whether or not the form is a searchable form. A searchable form returns non-trivial information to a requester in response to a submission of the form. If the form is determined to be a searchable form, a determination is made concerning whether or not the form is relevant to an identified topic. If the form is determined to be relevant to the identified topic, the document is identified as a searchable form relevant to the identified topic.

Method and system for adaptive discovery of content on a network

A method of creating an analogous workflow is provided. A first workflow is received at a first device, the first workflow including a plurality of first modules that are connected. A second workflow is received at the first device, the second workflow including a plurality of second modules that are connected. A third workflow is received at the first device, the third workflow including a plurality of third modules that are connected. An analogy workflow is determined based on a difference between the received first workflow and the received second workflow. The determined analogy workflow is applied to the received third workflow to define a fourth workflow. A method of identifying a workflow of a plurality of workflows is provided. A query workflow includes a plurality of modules that are connected. A workflow is identified that at least partially matches the received query workflow.

Analogy based workflow identification

A method of providing provenance management for a pre-existing application is provided. A provenance data selection is received. The provenance data selection indicates provenance data to present to a user. The provenance data is presented to the user as a version tree comprising a plurality of connected nodes. A node selection is received. The node selection indicates a node selected from the version tree. One or more nodes from a root node of the plurality of connected nodes to the node selected from the version tree are identified. One or more action parameters associated with the identified one or more nodes are identified. An action parameter of the one or more action parameters is associated with a previous interaction with a pre-existing application. Presentation of a state of the pre-existing application associated with the node selected from the version tree is triggered.

Enabling provenance management for pre-existing applications

A method of creating an analogous workflow is provided. A first workflow is received at a first device, the first workflow including a plurality of first modules that are connected. A second workflow is received at the first device, the second workflow including a plurality of second modules that are connected. A third workflow is received at the first device, the third workflow including a plurality of third modules that are connected. An analogy workflow is determined based on a difference between the received first workflow and the received second workflow. The determined analogy workflow is applied to the received third workflow to define a fourth workflow. The defined fourth workflow is presented to a user at the first device. A method of identifying a workflow of a plurality of workflows is provided. A query workflow is received at a first device, which includes a plurality of modules that are connected. A workflow is identified of a plurality of workflows, the identified workflow at least partially matching the received query workflow. The identified workflow is presented to a user at the first device.

A method is provided for organizing a plurality of documents that include forms. An initial set of clusters is defined for the plurality of documents. The initial set of clusters is reclustered based on similarity values calculated in multiple feature spaces. For example, a first feature space may be associated with a content of a document while a second feature space may be associated with a content of a form associated with the document. Each cluster has an associated centroid vector in each feature space that is used to represent the cluster. The similarity between the document and each cluster is calculated in both feature spaces. Each document is assigned to the cluster whose centroid is most similar. The cluster centroids may be recalculated and the process repeated until the cluster assignments become stable.
