Receiving a first model associated with a user, a generic model of a generic domain, and a specific domain having an associated domain-specific corpus. A first set of query terms based on elements of the first model, and a second set of query terms based on elements of the generic model, are determined. A third set of query terms is generated based on the first and second sets of query terms. The domain specific corpus is queried using the third set of query terms, and a domain specific model is generated based on results of the querying.

Platform for consulting solution

A computer-implemented event-centric social networking platform and a method for implementing the event-centric social networking platform have been disclosed. The platform creates shared experiences, primarily amongst friends local to a particular region. The platform includes a first repository, a second repository and a third repository. The platform includes an analytic engine for analyzing users' behavioral information and identify corresponding behavioral patterns. The platform includes a recommendation module configured to generate a plurality of recommendations corresponding to the catalog offerings based on user behavioral patterns, user interests related information and user preference information. The platform further includes an event planning module for enabling the users of the platform to organize/plan events around the available catalog offerings, and invite their respective friends, other users, shortlisted based on pre-defined criteria, to be a part of the planned event and share comments, images, and social media related to the event with their friends.

Computer implemented event-centric social networking platform

The invention provides a system adapted to enable contextual collaboration within a computer network. The invention provides a collaboration manager that supports manipulation of collaboration spaces. The collaboration spaces contain one or more collaboration elements that have potentially different collaboration modalities. The context manager maintains resources and resource interrelationships within contexts. The resources can include collaboration elements, processes, tasks, business objects, users, and/or roles. A view generator selects a set of the resources to be displayed to a user of the computer network. The invention also includes an interface adapted to allow applications to specify commands to manipulate collaboration spaces, commands to maintain resources and resource interrelationships within contexts, and queries for context-sensitive views.
