Abstract

The present disclosure includes a system and method for a serialized data service. A method for a serialized data service [801] includes retrieving serialized data to a data service [803], and augmenting the serialized data with information corresponding to one or more data retention policies [809]. The augmented serialized data is stored to a data source [811]. The augmented serialized data is removed from the data source based on the augmented information [813].

Claims

1. A method for a serialized data service [801], comprising:

retrieving serialized data to a data service [803];

augmenting the serialized data with information corresponding to one or more data retention policies [809];

storing the augmented serialized data to a data source [811]; and

removing the augmented serialized data from the data source based on the augmented information [813].

2. The method of claim 1, wherein retrieving serialized data to the serialized data service [783] includes retrieving the serialized data from a data source [772] of a data provider [738].

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising pushing the serialized data from a data source [772] of a data provider [738] to a proxy data storage medium [785], wherein retrieving serialized data to the data service [783] includes retrieving the serialized data from the proxy data storage medium [785].

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the data source [789] is available to a query service [226] invoked by a participant [238] in a collaborative information system [222].

5. The method of claim 4, further comprising invoking the data service [783] through the collaborative information system [222], wherein retrieving serialized data includes obtaining the serialized data as results of a query [227-1, 227-2, . . . , 227-N] of the data service [783].

6. The method of claim 4, further comprising configuring, by the data provider [738], an authorization model [358] to specify attributes of authorized services involving the data source [789], including query services and the data service [783].

7. The method of claim 4, further comprising configuring, by the data provider [738], a retention policy data taxonomy model [791] to specify a correspondence between the one or more data retention policies and the augmented information.

8. The method of claim 4, further comprising configuring, by a party other than the data provider, a retention policy data taxonomy model [791] to specify a correspondence between the one or more data retention policies and the augmented information.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more data retention policies are based on an age of the serialized data.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more data retention policies are based on a location of where the serialized data was captured.

11. The method of claim 1, further comprising resolving a conflict between the one or more data retention policies, wherein resolving includes an action selected from the group comprising:

(1) always overriding a particular one of the one or more data retention policies in favor of another one of the one or more data retention policies;

(2) providing a superset data retention policy invoking a most restrictive combination of the one or more data retention policies;

(3) providing a default safe data retention policy in lieu of the one or more data retention policies; and

(4) fully restricting the serialized data until a manual fix can be provided.

12. A non-transitory computer-readable medium [107] having computer-readable instructions stored thereon that, if executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

retrieve serialized data to a serialized data service [803];

augment the serialized data with information corresponding to one or more data retention policies [809] to which the serialized data is subject; and

enforce the one or more data retention policies upon the serialized data based on the augmented information.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium [107] of claim 12, wherein the computer-readable instructions to retrieve serialized data to a serialized data service [783] includes computer-readable instructions to retrieve the serialized data from a data source [772] of a data provider [138].

14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium [107] of claim 12, wherein the computer-readable instructions to retrieve serialized data to a serialized data service [783] includes computer-readable instructions to retrieve the serialized data from the proxy data storage medium [785].

15. A computing system [100], comprising:

a plurality of collaborative information participants [238] interconnected via a communication network, each participant having zero or more data sources [240, 772];

a computing platform [224] programmed with a number of services including a query service [226] and a serialized data service [783], the query service [226] using one or more queries [227-1, 227-2, . . . , 227-N]operable on authorized portions of participant data sources [240, 772];

wherein the serialized data service [783] is operable to;

retrieve serialized data from a data source of at least one participant [803];

augment the serialized data with information corresponding to one or more data retention policies [809]; and

enforce the one or more data retention policies upon the serialized data based on the augmented information.
