Abstract

A method and computer program product allow for accessing one or more intelligence data stores distributed across a network. The one or more of the intelligence data stores are searched. The method and computer program product further allow at least a portion of the content of the one or more intelligence data stores to be managed.

Claims

1. A computer program product comprising a computer readable medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform operations including:

accessing one or more intelligence data stores distributed across a network;

searching one or more of the intelligence data stores; and

managing at least a portion of the content of the one or more intelligence data stores.

2. The computer program product of claim 1, wherein accessing the one or more intelligence data stores further includes indexing at least a portion of the content of the one or more intelligence data stores.

3. The computer program product of claim 2, wherein at least a portion of the content of the one or more intelligence data stores includes unstructured data.

4. The computer program product of claim 2, wherein at least a portion of the content of the one or more intelligence data stores includes structured data.

5. The computer program product of claim 1, wherein accessing the one or more intelligence data stores further includes associating metadata with at least a portion of the content of the one or more intelligence data stores.

6. The computer program product of claim 5, further including storing the metadata associated with at least a portion of the content of the one or more data stores in a metadata catalog.

7. The computer program product of claim 6, wherein searching the one or more of the intelligence data stores includes searching the metadata catalog.

8. The computer program product of claim 1, wherein managing at least a portion of the content of the one or more intelligence data stores includes generating metadata associated with at least a portion of the content of the one or more intelligence data stores.

9. The computer program product of claim 1, wherein managing at least a portion of the content of the one or more intelligence data stores includes one or more of creating content, modifying content, and deleting content.

10. A method comprising:

accessing one or more intelligence data stores distributed across a network;

searching one or more of the intelligence data stores; and

managing at least a portion of the content of the one or more intelligence data stores.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein accessing the one or more intelligence data stores further includes indexing at least a portion of the content of the one or more intelligence data stores.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein at least a portion of the content of the one or more intelligence data stores includes unstructured data.

13. The method of claim 11, wherein at least a portion of the content of the one or more intelligence data stores includes structured data.

14. The method of claim 10, wherein accessing the one or more intelligence data stores further includes associating metadata with at least a portion of the content of the one or more intelligence data stores.

15. The method of claim 14, further including storing the metadata associated with at least a portion of the content of the one or more data stores in a metadata catalog.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein searching the one or more of the intelligence data stores includes searching the metadata catalog.

17. The method of claim 10, wherein managing at least a portion of the content of the one or more intelligence data stores includes generating metadata associated with at least a portion of the content of the one or more intelligence data stores.

18. The method of claim 10, wherein managing at least a portion of the content of the one or more intelligence data stores includes one or more of creating content, modifying content, and deleting content.
