TL;DR: In this paper, a database query interface tool for querying a database is disclosed, and a display section displays a list of items from the database that satisfy the database query and allows a user to select one of the items in the list.
Abstract: A database query interface tool for querying a database is disclosed. A search query input section receives a database query from a user. A display section displays a list of items from the database that satisfy the database query and allows a user to select one of the items in the list of items. A display section displays metadata about the selected item and allows selection/deselection of one or more metadatum from the metadata. A display section displays a list of related items in the database that are related to the selected item in accordance with the selected or deselected metadata.

18 Mar 2005TL;DR: In one embodiment of the present invention, a method for creating spreadsheet metadata comprises receiving an item in a spreadsheet, receiving item metadata about the item, and associating the item metadata with the item to create spreadsheet metadata as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: The present invention generally relates to new and improved embodiments of methods and systems for capturing and providing arbitrarily rich data to be stored or manipulated within a spreadsheet. In one embodiment of the present invention, a method for creating spreadsheet metadata comprises receiving an item in a spreadsheet, receiving item metadata about the item, and associating the item metadata with the item to create spreadsheet metadata.

TL;DR: A data warehouse process model is proposed to capture the dynamics of a data warehouse and the evolution operators are linked to the corresponding architecture components and quality factors they affect.
Abstract: Data warehouses are complex systems consisting of many components which store highlyaggregated data for decision support. Due to the role of the data warehouses in the daily business work of an enterprise, the requirements for the design and the implementation are dynamic and subjective. Therefore, data warehouse design is a continuous process which has to reflect the changing environment of a data warehouse, i.e. the data warehouse must evolve in reaction to the enterprise’s evolution. Based on existing meta models for the architecture and quality of a data warehouse, we propose in this paper a data warehouse process model to capture the dynamics of a data warehouse. The evolution of a data warehouse is represented as a special process and the evolution operators are linked to the corresponding architecture components and quality factors they affect. We show the application of our model on schema evolution in data warehouses and its consequences on data warehouse views. The models have been implemented in the metadata repository ConceptBase which can be used to analyze the result of evolution operations and to monitor the quality of a data warehouse.

TL;DR: A computer-implemented method of locating information in a database of electronic documents includes defining fragments of the documents, associating the fragments with the document from which the fragments originated, and associating metadata with the fragments, where the metadata associated with a fragment includes metadata related to one or more topics of the fragment.
Abstract: A computer-implemented method of locating information in a database of electronic documents includes defining fragments of the documents, associating the fragments with the document from which the fragments originated, and associating metadata with the fragments, where the metadata associated with a fragment includes metadata related to one or more topics of the fragment. A query for one or more documents containing information about a topic is received, and a document is located from the database based on a comparison of the query with the metadata associated with a fragment of the document.

21 Mar 2005TL;DR: In this paper, a system records a video program as well as metadata associated with the video program, and the system then receives updated metadata associated to the video programs and replaces the previously recorded metadata with the updated metadata.
Abstract: A system records a video program (304) as well as metadata associated with the video program (306). The system then receives updated metadata associated with the video program (308). The previously recorded metadata is replaced with the updated metadata (312).
