Universal Knowledge Repository

Abstract

A system comprising: a processor; a data bus coupled to the processor; and a non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium embodying computer program code, the non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium being coupled to the data bus. The computer program code interacting with a plurality of computer operations and comprising instructions executable by the processor and configured for: receiving streams of data from a plurality of data sources; processing the streams of data from the plurality of data sources, the processing the streams of data from the plurality of data sources performing data enriching to provide data enriched data streams; and, storing the data streams and the data enriched data streams within the universal knowledge repository as a collection of knowledge elements.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 009,626, filed Jun. 9, 2014, entitled “Cognitive Information Processing System Environment.” U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 009,626 includes exemplary systems and methods and is incorporated by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates in general to the field of computers and similar technologies, and in particular to software utilized in this field. Still more particularly, it relates to a method, system and computer-usable medium for generating and using a universal knowledge repository.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]In general, “big data” refers to a collection of datasets so large and complex that they become difficult to process using typical database management tools and traditional data processing approaches. These datasets can originate fr...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patent text describes a system for interpreting and learning from data sources. The system includes a processor and a data bus, along with a computer-readable storage medium containing computer code. The computer code interacts with a plurality of computer operations to receive and process data from various sources. This processing involves data enriching, which involves adding information to the data to make it more useful. Ultimately, the enriched data is stored within a universal knowledge repository, providing a collection of knowledge elements. This system can improve data analysis and learning by automating the process of extracting relevant information from multiple sources.

Problems solved by technology

In general, “big data” refers to a collection of datasets so large and complex that they become difficult to process using typical database management tools and traditional data processing approaches.

In combination, these challenges make it difficult to efficiently process large quantities of data within tolerable time intervals.

An example of data that is being collected, but is difficult to access at the right time and place, includes data associated with the side effects of certain spider bites while on a camping trip.
