Abstract

A computer based media, method and system for context search for an individual, a team, a division, an organization, an organization combination or some combination thereof.

Claims

1. A context search method, comprising

Aggregating data related to an entity in accordance with a common schema,

Analyzing at least a portion of said data as required to identify an entity context and one or more priorities for said entity given said context,

Identifying data, information and knowledge that is relevant to said entity context, and

Presenting at least one of relevant data, relevant information or relevant knowledge after sorting said data, information or knowledge on the basis of the entity context relevancy and priorities.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein an entity context further comprises one or more aspects of context selected from the group consisting of physical, tactical, instant, organization, mission, social environment, lexical, time and combinations thereof.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein one or more priorities are defined by one or more mission measures.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein one or more mission measures further comprise one or more quantifiable measures.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein one or mission measures further comprise measures selected from the group consisting of a time measure, a transaction measure, a financial measure, a physical measure, a satisfaction measure and combinations thereof.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein an entity context is developed by learning from the data.

7. A program storage device readable by machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by a machine to perform method steps for performing a context search method, the method steps comprising:

Aggregating data related to an entity in accordance with a common schema,

Analyzing at least a portion of said data as required to identify an entity context and one or more priorities for said entity given said context,

Identifying a plurality of data, information and knowledge that is relevant to said entity context, and

Presenting the relevant data, information and knowledge after it is sorted on the basis of entity context relevancy and priorities.

8. The program storage device of claim 7 wherein an entity context further comprises one or more aspects of context selected from the group consisting of physical, tactical, instant, organization, mission, social environment, lexical, time and combinations thereof.

9. The program storage device of claim 7 wherein one or more priorities are defined by one or more mission measures.

10. The program storage device of claim 7 wherein one or more mission measures further comprise any quantifiable measure.

11. The program storage device of claim 7 wherein one or mission measures further comprise measures selected from the group consisting of a time measure, a transaction measure, a financial measure, a physical measure, a satisfaction measure and combinations thereof.

12. The program storage device of claim 7 wherein one or more priorities for an entity are identified in an automated manner by learning from the data.

13. The program storage device of claim 7 wherein an entity is selected from the group consisting of individual, a team, a division, an organization, an organization combination and combinations thereof.

14. A context search system comprising:

networked computers each with a processor having circuitry to execute instructions;

a storage device available to each processor with sequences of instructions stored therein, which when executed cause the processors to;

(a) aggregate data related to an entity in accordance with a common schema,

(b) analyze at least a portion of said data as required to identify an entity context and one or more priorities for said entity given said context,

(c) identify a plurality of data, information and knowledge that is relevant to said entity context, and

(d) presenting at least one of the relevant data, relevant information and relevant knowledge in an order defined by an entity context relevancy and priorities.

15. The system of claim 14 wherein an entity context further comprises one or more aspects of context selected from the group consisting of physical, tactical, instant, organization, mission, social environment, lexical, temporal and combinations thereof.

16. The system of claim 14 wherein one or more priorities are defined by one or more mission measures.

17. The system of claim 14 wherein one or more mission measures further comprise any quantifiable measure.

18. The system of claim 14 wherein one or mission measures further comprise measures selected from the group consisting of a time measure, a transaction measure, a financial measure, a physical measure, a satisfaction measure and combinations thereof.

19. The system of claim 14 wherein identifying data, information and knowledge that is relevant to an entity context further comprises the development of indices for aspects of context selected from the group consisting of physical, tactical, instant, organization, mission, social environment, lexical, temporal and combinations thereof.

20. The system of claim 14 wherein an entity is selected from the group consisting of individual, a team, a division, an organization, an organization combination and combinations thereof.
