A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for organizing information elements in a system having a display capability which (a) generates a first information element vector based on a predetermined first characterization attribute, (b) generates a second information element vector based on a second characterization attribute, and (c) display on the display device the first information element vector adjacent to the second information element vector. Furthermore, the computer-executable instructions allow a user to select the characterization attributes and to visualize the information element vectors.

Multi-dimensional locating system and method

Embodiments relate to systems and methods for extracting a model object from a multi-dimensional source database. A modeling client can host modeling logic and an application programming interface (API) to create, access, manipulate, and import/export modeling objects used in modeling applications, such as engineering, medical, financial, and other modeling platforms. In aspects, the source data accepted into the modeling client can include consumer or business-level applications, whose database or other content can be extracted and encapsulated in object-oriented format, such as extensible markup language (XML) format. The resulting model object can be pivoted along selected dimensions, or otherwise manipulated. The modeling client can exchange one or more modeling object directly with external platforms, such as mainframe modeling platforms, via the application programming interface (API) on a programmatic basis. Costs and maintenance savings over mainframe-based modeling tools can thereby be achieved, while providing greater power than consumer or business-level tools.

Systems and methods for extracting database dimensions as data modeling object

Embodiments relate to systems and methods for the automatic propagation of data changes in distribution operations in a hierarchical database. Higher-level data, such as yearly profit, may be desired to be spread from parent nodes to lower nodes in the store, such as quarters. Parent nodes can be associated with a set of programmatic placeholder nodes. A spreading tool can access or host sequence logic to ensure that data is spread in an order that takes dependencies, or other factors into account. In aspects, the spreading tool can be configured to generate a propagation trace to identify other nodes in the data store that may be connected to or depend on the data content of the recipient child node(s). A set of propagated data changes, such as updates to values, formatting, or other data, can be automatically transmitted to those other nodes upon completion of the original data spreading operations.

Approaches are described for rendering augmented reality overlays on an interface displaying the active field of view of a camera. The interface can display to a user an image or video, for example, and the overlay can be rendered over, near, or otherwise positioned with respect to any text or other such elements represented in the image. The overlay can have associated therewith at least one function or information, and when an input associated with the overlay is selected, the function can be performed (or caused to be performed) by the portable computing device.

A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for generating an execution plan graph from a data flow. A metadata representation of the data flow is generated in response to receiving the data flow. A set of code units is generated from the metadata representation. Each code unit in the set of code units is executable on multiple different types of runtime engines. The set of code units is processed to produce the execution plan graph.

Data flow system and method for heterogeneous data integration environments

Methods, systems, and computer readable medium for displaying results of a search query. In one implementation, the method includes receiving a query, obtaining documents that satisfy the query, constructing a facet hierarchy based on documents that satisfy the query, creating a cube structure based on the facet hierarchy, and displaying a multi-dimensional search interface based on the cube structure.

Methods, systems, and computer program products for generating code from a data flow associated with an extract, transform, and load (ETL) process. In one implementation, the method includes identifying a data exchange requirement between a first operator and a second operator in the data flow. The first operator is a graphical object that represents a first data transformation step in the data flow and is associated with a first type of runtime engine, and the second operator is a graphical object that represents a second data transformation step in the date flow and is associated with a second type of runtime engine. The method further includes generating code to manage data staging between the first operator and the second operator in the data flow. The code exchanges data from a format associated with the first type of runtime engine to a format associated with the second type of runtime engine.

Methods, computer program products, and system for generating code for an extract, transform, and load (ETL) data flow are provided. In one implementation, the method includes receiving an ETL data flow representing a logical transformation and flow of data, placing a staging table at a pre-determined location in the ETL data flow to reduce a total number of staging tables required by the transformation, and generating code for the transformation based on the ETL data flow including the staging table placed at the pre-determined location.

Method and Apparatus for Generating Code for an Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) Data Flow

A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for generating code for an integrated data system. A mixed data flow is received. The mixed data flow contains mixed data flow operators, which are associated with multiple runtime environments. A graph is generated containing logical operators based on the mixed data flow in response to receiving the mixed data flow. The logical operators are independent of the plurality of runtime environments. The graph is converted to a model. The logical operators are converted to model operators associated with the multiple runtime environments. The model operators allow for analysis of operations for the mixed data flow. The model is converted into an execution plan graph. The execution plan graph is executable on different runtime environments.
