A system and method for updating and correcting facts that receives proposed values for facts from users and determines a correctness score which is used to automatically accept or reject the proposed values.

Moderation of user-generated content

Implementations are provided for providing responsive audio recordings to user queries that are prerecorded by human beings, rather than generated automatically using speech synthesis processing. In various implementations, a query provided by a user at an input component of a computing device may be used to search a corpus of voice recordings. From the searching, a plurality of candidate responsive voice recordings may be identified and ranked based on measures of credibility associated with speakers that created the candidate responsive voice recordings. Based on the ranking, one or more of the plurality of candidate responsive voice recordings may be provided for presentation to the user at an output component of the same computing device or a different computing device.

A system and method of the subject technology automatically generates an electronic journal of a series of events based on input from data sources already used to record the series of events, and then displays those events in an electronic publication representative of the series of events. A GPS track may be used in connection with the series of events to generate the electronic journal in connection with an interactive map.

Methods and apparatus for efficiently scheduling downtimes associated with installing updates to software applications are described. According to one aspect of the present invention, a method for accessing an impact of a portion of code, e.g., and update, on an application, includes obtaining metadata associated with the portion of code and comparing the metadata against a plurality of data structures associated with the application. Comparing the metadata against the data structures includes determining whether a first data structure is identified in the metadata. The method also includes creating a first list when the first data structure is identified in the metadata. The first list identifies the first data structure as being arranged to be substantially directly affected by the portion of code.

A mechanism and method for querying between two data centers managed by two different data center management products is described. A single information query model is utilized to query multiple instances of another data center, which receives, translates and responds to the information query through the use of a schema. Knowledge of the other (foreign) data center's APIs for each instance is made unnecessary. Improved query efficiency is achieved by combining a plurality of disparate queries into a single information query. The responses to the plurality of queries are populated into a single reply to the information query, which is then transmitted back to the querying data center, translated and made readable to the IT administrator.

Methods and apparatus for enabling efficient testing of application programming interface (API) frameworks and application code are disclosed. According to one aspect of the present invention, a method for capturing a call to an API using a framework including an execution engine that communicate with an adapter to cause the API call to be executed involves making the API call and constructing an object using metadata associated with the API call. The constructed object is converted into a node that is of a declarative metadata format, and the node is stored.

Methods and apparatus that integrate management frameworks with an enterprise manager in a grid computing environment are disclosed. According to one aspect of the present invention, a grid computing system includes a management arrangement and at least a first management framework. The management arrangement includes an integration arrangement that brokers requests. The first management framework sends a first request to the integration arrangement which effectively allows the first management framework to communicate bi-directionally with the management arrangement.

Methods and apparatus for enabling efficient testing of application programming interface (API) frameworks and application code are disclosed. According to one aspect of the present invention, a framework suitable for use to test an API includes a metadata provider arrangement that stores declarative metadata and a metadata provider interface that obtains the declarative metadata associated with a test from the declarative metadata provider. A first test adapter includes logic used to process the declarative metadata, and a diagnostic test interface cooperates with the first test adapter to execute the test. The first test adapter is effectively interfaced with the diagnostic test interface. Finally, a diagnostics execution engine is arranged to communicate with the diagnostic test interface to cause the test to be executed.

A system and method for prefabricating information pages is disclosed, in which the necessary steps to retrieve and package information requested by a user are preemptively performed by the computer system. When the user later makes an explicit request for information, the desired information can be immediately displayed to the user without the delays associated with contemporaneous retrieval and packaging of the information. The prefabrication system of the invention can be configured to automatically tune its processing to the changing conditions that exist in the computer system, which can be used to maximize use of available system resources. The present invention can be scalably deployed to perform coordinated prefabrication services on multiple, distributed computing nodes. In an embodiment, the invention is completely non-intrusive, in which no changes to existing application are required to implement prefabrication of pages.
