ECOSYSTEM METHOD OF AGGREGATION AND SEARCH AND RELATED TECHNIQUES
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of data aggregation in a network, comprising:
- receiving event notifications from a plurality of content sites on the network, each event notification indicating occurrence of an event associated with a corresponding one of the content sites, each event corresponding to a change to content associated with the corresponding content site;
in response to each event notification, generating event metadata, the event metadata including a time stamp for the event and change data corresponding to the change to the content; and
indexing the event metadata in a plurality of databases with reference to a plurality of index metrics including the time stamp, each of the plurality of databases having a different one of the index metrics as a primary index, the indexing of the event metadata for each event occurring within one day of receipt of the corresponding event notification thereby enabling retrieving of the changes to the content from the plurality of databases using any of the index metrics.

Abstract
Techniques are described for effecting data aggregation in a network. Event notifications are received from a plurality of content sites on the network. Each event notification indicates occurrence of an event associated with a corresponding one of the content sites. Each event corresponds to a change to content associated with the corresponding content site. In response to each event notification, event metadata are generated. The event metadata include a time stamp for the event and change data corresponding to the change to the content. The event metadata are indexed in a plurality of databases with reference to a plurality of index metrics including the time stamp. The indexing of the event metadata for each event occurs within days, hours, or even minutes of receipt of the corresponding event notification thereby enabling retrieving of the changes to the content from the plurality of databases using any of the index metrics in near real time.

19. A system for facilitating data aggregation in a network, the system comprising one or more computing devices configured to:
-
receive event notifications from a plurality of content sites on the network, each event notification indicating occurrence of an event associated with a corresponding one of the content sites, each event corresponding to a change to content associated with the corresponding content site; generate event metadata in response to each event notification, the event metadata including a time stamp for the event and change data corresponding to the change to the content; and index the event metadata in a plurality of databases with reference to a plurality of index metrics including the time stamp, each of the plurality of databases having a different one of the index metrics as a primary index, the indexing of the event metadata for each event occurring within one day of receipt of the corresponding event notification thereby enabling retrieving of the changes to the content from the plurality of databases using any of the index metrics.
