Systems and methods for the management of information to enable the rapid dissemination of actionable information
First Claim
1. A method for providing at least one client access to a network semantic graph distributed among a plurality of semantic servers wherein the network semantic graph comprises concept instances and relations between the concept instances, the method comprising:
- receiving first data including semantically distributed annotations from distributed data sources in communication with the plurality of semantic servers;
based on the first data including the annotations, linking the concept instances using the relations;
storing the concept instances and relations as a local semantic graph comprising a part of the network semantic graph;
creating at least one subscription of interest over the network semantic graph in response to a request from the at least one client;
collecting second data from the distributed data sources based on the at least one subscription;
semantically annotating the second data;
updating the local semantic graph based on the semantic annotation;
sending alerts to the at least one client based on updates to the local semantic graph matching the at least one subscription of the at least one client.

Abstract
Methods, systems and media are provided for turning large volumes of globally distributed data into actionable information by building a distributed semantic graph and maintaining such graph with up to date changes in data and client needs are provided. The semantic graph can be used to run subscriptions over interconnected semantic servers where each server can be capable of coupling to data sources, client applications and other semantic servers.

5. A semantic server storing a local semantic graph comprising concept instances and relations between the concept instances, the semantic server comprising:
-
an input/output module to receive data including semantically descriptive annotations from distributed sources; a processor programmed to process data based on the semantically descriptive annotations of the data to form the local semantic graph that associates the concept instances with each other using the relations; and memory for storing the local semantic graph, the local semantic graph comprising part of a network semantic graph distributed among a plurality of semantic servers. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41)

12. A semantic network providing a network semantic graph comprising concept instances and relations between the concept instances the semantic network comprising:
-
a plurality of semantic servers in communication with each other and with distributed sources, wherein each of the plurality of semantic servers comprises; an input/output module to receive data including semantically descriptive annotations from the distributed sources; a processor programmed to process the data based on the semantically descriptive annotations of the data to form a local semantic graph that associates the concept instances with each other using the relations; and memory for storing the local semantic graph; wherein each local semantic graph of each of the plurality of semantic servers comprises a portion of the network semantic graph distributed across the plurality of semantic servers. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46)
