A method, computer program product, and system for validating content included in an electronic communication is disclosed. A computer receives a new communication that includes content from an original communication. The computer determines if the content included in the new communication includes a change to the original communication. In response to determining that the content includes the change to the original communication, the computer generates a validation score of the new communication, such that the validation score is determined by an amount of match between the content of the new communication and the original communication, and the extent to which the change alters a purport of the original communication.

Validating content from an original communication included in a new communication

A method for notification of a change to content of a document may include providing a mechanism for selecting a certain portion of content of a document by a user that the user desires to receive notification of changes to the certain portion of content. The method may also include detecting a change to the certain portion of content being made by another user. The method may further include creating the notification of the change to the certain portion of content in response to a predefined condition being meet and transmitting the notification of the change to the certain portion of content to at least the user in response to the change to the certain portion of content of the document being saved by the other user.

Notification of a change to user selected content

A system for notification of a change to content of a document may include a processor and a module operable on the processor for allowing a user to dynamically select a variable amount of content of the document for which a notification of a change to the selected variable amount of content is desired. The system may also include a module operable on the processor for detecting a change to the selected variable amount of content being made by another user. The system may additionally include a module operable on the processor for creating the notification of the change to the selected variable amount of content. The system may further include a module operable on the processor for transmitting the notification of the change to the selected variable amount of content in response to the change to the selected variable amount of content of the document being saved by the other user.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a novel and non-obvious method, server and computer program product for finding relevant content in a knowledge base. A method for finding items that are related to a user selected item in a knowledge base is provided. The method can include generating a first list of knowledge base items with a defined relationship to the user selected item and generating a second list of knowledge base items that belong to the same category as a category of the user selected item. The method can further include generating a third list of knowledge base items having one or more tags identical to one or more tags of the user selected item and selecting a first set of knowledge base items that are present in the first, second or third lists. The method can further include displaying the first set of knowledge base items as most relevant.

Relevance content searching for knowledge bases

A computer-implemented method for selecting a portion of a content repository for replication including receiving an input describing one or more desired relationship patterns for replication, generating a query for the desired relationship patterns, identifying content items of a content repository matching the desired relationship patterns, and selecting the identified content items of the content repository. The input is received at a graphical user interface (GUI). The GUI operates on a computer. The relationship patterns are associated with an ontology describing relationships between content items in a content repository. The content repository includes a plurality of content items.

System, method, and apparatus for replicating a portion of a content repository

A computer-implemented method for selecting a portion of a content repository for replication including monitoring a usage pattern of a content repository, determining one or more preferred relationship patterns for replication in response to the usage pattern, identifying content items of the content repository matching the preferred relationship patterns, and selecting the identified content items of the content repository. Monitoring the usage pattern is performed by a pattern recognition engine operating on a computer. The content repository includes two or more content items. The relationship patterns are associated with an ontology describing relationships between content items in the content repository.

System, method, and apparatus for replicating a portion of a content repository using behavioral patterns

A method for generating an ontology may include selecting, by a processing device, a tag in a tag cloud. The method may also include searching, by the processing device, an online encyclopedia for content corresponding to the selected tag and determining, by the processing device, at least one category to which the content belongs in the online encyclopedia in response to finding the content corresponding to the selected tag in the online encyclopedia. The method may additionally include adding, by the processing device, a class to the ontology corresponding to the at least one category of the content in the online encyclopedia.

Creating an ontology using an online encyclopedia and tag cloud

One aspect of the present invention includes dynamically selecting templates through the use of an ontology. In one embodiment, an ontology is defined to structure information system content, and an ontology classification is then assigned when content is provided to the information system. Based on this classification, the most appropriate template classified in the ontology is applied to the content. If a template exists at the content item's ontology level, this template is applied to the content. If no template exists, then the ontology tree is navigated upward to locate a template at the nearest ancestor ontology level. If a template was found by navigating the ontology tree, then this template is applied to the content item.
