Abstract:
Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems and computer program products for database system communications with external content management data sources. In some implementations, the data sources are identified in a user interface. An authorization selection enables authorization of a given identified data source, and a customization selection enables customization of one or more search settings for searching content of the data source. Persistent objects representing content objects of the data sources can be stored in one or more databases. A database search can be performed on both native database files and the persistent objects.
Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for synchronizing and sharing data objects. The method includes configuring a set of permissions, within a collaboration site, to define a sharing configuration to allow sharing of a set of data objects between a group of computing devices comprising a first computing device and second computing devices; updating a data object at the first computing device; receiving an updated data object at the collaboration site from a sync client of the first computing device in response to saving the updated data object; automatically synchronizing the updated data object at the collaboration site; and automatically pushing the updated data object from the collaboration site to the second computing devices to share the updated data object in accordance with the sharing configuration.
Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for synchronizing and sharing data objects in a cloud based social networking environment of the type including a collaboration cloud. The method includes defining a sharing configuration based on at least one metadata key word, within the collaboration cloud, the sharing configuration including a second computing device; running a dedicated client synchronization application on a first computing device; updating a data object using the first computing device; automatically synchronizing the updated data object with the collaboration cloud; and propagating, using the collaboration cloud, the updated data object to the second computing device.
Abstract:
The technology disclosed relates to hosting legacy data sources in a cloud environment. In particular, it relates to providing users with flyweight access to content stored in legacy content repositories from within cloud based applications. It uses full-duplex secure transport tunnels and repository-specific connectors to traverse security layers and access the content repositories. It also creates virtual objects representing the content in the content repositories and embeds them in the cloud based applications.

Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for processing and answering a natural language query at a database server are described. An end user may submit a question in natural language over a communication platform. An answer engine running on the database server may receive the question, and may process the content of the question using natural language processing (NLP) techniques. The answer engine may construct a search query based on the NLP, and may retrieve a set of documents from a database using the search query. The answer engine may rank the documents, prune the number of documents, modify the documents for the given communication platform, or perform any combination of these functions. In some cases, an intermediate user may review the documents, and may select one or more documents for publication. The answer engine may send the selected documents to the end user as answers in response to the question.

Abstract:
Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer readable storage media for providing access in an on-demand database service to a content object stored in an external content management data source. Information data identifying a content object stored in an external content management data source can be received and communicated through one or more middleware components. The one or more middleware components can serve as a content hub to establish access with the content object and retrieve data regarding the content object. The data regarding the content object can be stored in a persistent object, which can represent the content object in a social layer of the on-demand database service.
