Ontology-based data access monitoring
First Claim
1. A method to monitor a data access activity, the method comprising, by a processor:
- receiving an indication of a destination concept;
identifying a first node in an ontology, wherein the first node corresponds to the destination concept;
identifying a link connected to the first node;
identifying a second node connected to the link, wherein the second node corresponds to a related concept associated with the destination concept, and the link is effective to indicate a relationship between the destination concept and the related concept;
identifying a set of nodes, wherein the set of nodes includes at least the first node and the second node, and the set of nodes corresponds to the destination concept and at least one related concept associated with the destination concept;
generating a planned path using the set of nodes, wherein the planned path is effective to define a first data access order associated with access of at least one of the related concepts and with the destination concept;
generating a browsing path effective to define a second data access order associated with the data access activity;
comparing the planned path with the browsing path; and
determining whether to issue an alert based on a result of the comparison of the planned path with the browsing path.

Abstract
Technologies are generally described for methods and systems effective to monitor a data access activity. In some examples, a method may include receiving, by a processor, a destination concept. The processor may identify a set of concepts, which may include the destination concept and at least one related concept associated with the destination concept, in an ontology. The processor may generate a planned path, which may define a first data access order associated with access of at least one of the related concepts and the destination concept, using the set of concepts. The processor may generate a browsing path which may define a second data access order associated with the data access activity. The processor may compare the planned path with the browsing path. The processor may determine a deviation based on the comparison of the planned path and the browsing path. The processor may monitor the data access activity using the deviation.

10. A system configured to monitor a data access activity, the system comprising:
-
a memory configured to store an ontology; a processor configured to be in communication with the memory, the processor being configured to; receive an indication of a destination concept; identify a first node in the ontology, wherein the first node corresponds to the destination concept; identify a link connected to the first node; identify a second node connected to the link, wherein the second node corresponds to a related concept associated with the destination concept, and the link is effective to indicate a relationship between the destination concept and the related concept; identify a set of nodes, wherein the set of nodes includes at least the first node and the second node, and the set of nodes corresponds to the destination concept and at least one related concept associated with the destination concept; generate a planned path using the set of nodes, wherein the planned path is effective to define a first data access order associated with access of at least one of the related concepts and with the destination concept; store the planned path in the memory; generate a browsing path effective to define a second data access order associated with the data access activity; compare the planned path with the browsing path; and determine whether to issue an alert based on a result of the comparison of the planned path with the browsing path. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A method to generate a planned path associated with a data access activity, the method comprising, by a processor:
-
receiving an indication of a destination concept; identifying a first node in an ontology, wherein the first node corresponds to the destination concept; identifying a first link connected to the first node; identifying a second node connected to the first link, wherein the second node corresponds to a first related concept associated with the destination concept, and the first link is effective to indicate a relationship between the destination concept and the first related concept; identifying a second link connected to the first node; identifying a third node connected to the second link, wherein the third node corresponds to a second related concept associated with the destination concept, and the second link is effective to indicate a relationship between the destination concept and the second related concept; identifying a set of nodes, wherein the set of nodes includes at least the first node, the second node, and the third node, and the set of nodes corresponds to the destination concept and at least the first and second related concepts associated with the destination concept; determining a first dependency between the first related concept and the destination concept based on the first link; determining a second dependency between the second related concept and the destination concept based on a second link; determining a third dependency between the first related concept and the second related concept based on a third link, wherein the third link connects the second node and the third node; assigning the first, second, and third nodes in an order based on the first, second, and third dependencies; and generating the planned path based on the order of the first, second, and third nodes, wherein the planned path is effective to define a data access order associated with access of at least one of the related concepts and with the destination concept. - View Dependent Claims (20)
