An approach to determining if a corpus is obsolete for the selected purpose. The approach can receive a corpus and a context from a user. The approach can extract terms from the corpus based on the context. The approach can generate a temporal context mapping of the terms. The approach can analyze the terms based on the temporal context mapping. The approach can determine if a further analysis of the temporal context mapping by a subject matter expert (SME) is necessary and if so, employ an SME for the analysis. The approach can determine if the corpus is obsolete for the selected purpose based on the temporal context mapping. The approach can delete the corpus from the repository and send the user an obsolete notice if the corpus is obsolete or can generate a corpus report and send the user the corpus report if the corpus is not obsolete.

A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes outputting, from a requester system to a server system, a request signature. The request signature requests at least one parameter of a function specified in the request signature. The method further includes receiving a first response signature from the server system and identifying within the first response signature a parameter. The specified function is applied to the identified parameter for determining whether the parameter is valid. In response to a determination that the identified parameter of the first response signature is invalid, a location and/or an identity of the identified parameter is marked in a copy of the first response signature. The method further includes using a functional topology of the requester system to trace the identified parameter determined to be invalid to a valid parameter, and outputting a second response signature that includes the marked-up copy of the first response signature.
