Abstract

An identity analysis and correlation service system can include a summary manager service for generating identity correlation summaries pertaining to a persona, wherein the generated identity correlation summaries are based on discovered content corresponding to the persona and analyzed content corresponding to the discovered content. The system can include a content search manager service for generating the discovered content based on search criteria and a semantic analysis service for generating the analyzed content. The system can also include a data store for storing the generated identity correlation summaries and a notification service for providing a notification based on the generated identity correlation summaries.

Claims (27)

1. An identity analysis and correlation service system, comprising:

a tangible, non-transitory, machine-readable medium storing a summary manager service operable to generate a plurality of identity correlation summaries pertaining to a persona, wherein the generated plurality of identity correlation summaries are based at least in part on discovered content corresponding to the persona and analyzed content corresponding to the discovered content, the persona having a semantic position;

a semantic analysis service operable to generate the analyzed content, wherein the semantic analysis service is operable to generate the analyzed content based at least in part on a plurality of semantic abstracts, wherein the plurality of semantic abstracts are based at least in part on the discovered content and at least one of persona content corresponding to the persona and community content corresponding to the persona, wherein the community content comprises information pertaining to the persona's involvement with an online community;

a data store operable to store the generated plurality of identity correlation summaries; and

a dashboard utility configured to graphically display information pertaining to at least some of the generated identity correlation summaries by displaying on a display a plurality of status arrows that show how the discovered content relates to the semantic position of the persona.

2. The identity analysis and correlation service system of claim 1 , further comprising at least one identity service operable to generate the persona.

3. The identity analysis and correlation service system of claim 1 , further comprising a content search manager service operable to generate the discovered content based at least in part on a plurality of search criteria.

4. The identity analysis and correlation service system of claim 3 , wherein the content search manager service is operable to generate the discovered content via a plurality of interactions with a plurality of search engines using at least some of the plurality of search criteria.

5. The identity analysis and correlation service system of claim 3 , wherein the plurality of search criteria is developed by a user via a user interface.

6. The identity analysis and correlation service system of claim 1 , further comprising a notification service operable to provide a notification based on the generated plurality of identity correlation summaries.

7. The identity analysis and correlation service system of claim 6 , wherein the notification comprises an advisory of a possible correlation between the persona and the discovered content.

8. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

searching content on a network based on a plurality of search criteria and storing the results as discovered content;

performing a semantic analysis on at least part of the discovered content, wherein performing the semantic analysis comprises creating at least one semantic abstract corresponding to the discovered content and based at least in part on at least one of persona content corresponding to a persona and community content corresponding to the persona, wherein the community content comprises information pertaining to the persona's involvement with an online community, and wherein the at least one semantic abstract is based on a plurality of dominant vectors and a plurality of dominant phrase vectors;

based at least in part on results of the semantic analysis, generating a plurality of summaries indicating a correlation between the discovered content and the persona; and

graphically displaying information pertaining to the plurality of summaries by displaying on a display a plurality of status arrows that show how the discovered content relates to a semantic position of the persona.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , wherein generating the plurality of summaries is also based at least in part on the discovered content.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , wherein generating the plurality of summaries is also based at least in part on information pertaining to the persona.

11. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 , further comprising sending a notification to a user of the at least one persona, wherein the notification provides information pertaining to the indicated correlation between the discovered content and at least one persona.

12. The computer-implemented method of claim 11 , further comprising receiving as input from the user at least one actionable item pertaining to the notification.

13. An identity analysis and correlation system, comprising:

a content search module stored on a tangible, non-transitory, machine-readable medium and operable to determine discovered content for at least one persona by searching at least one of public content and private content based at least in part on a plurality of search criteria;

a semantic analysis module stored on the tangible, non-transitory, machine-readable medium and operable to generate analyzed content for the at least one persona based at least in part on the discovered content and at least one of persona content corresponding to the at least one persona and community content corresponding to the at least one persona, wherein the community content comprises information pertaining to the at least one persona's involvement with an online community;

a summary generation module stored on the tangible, non-transitory, machine-readable medium and operable to generate a plurality of summaries for the at least one persona based at least in part on the analyzed content; and

a dashboard utility operable to display to a user information pertaining to at least some of the plurality of summaries by displaying on a display a plurality of status arrows that show how the discovered content relates to a semantic position of at least one persona corresponding to a user.

14. The identity analysis and correlation system of claim 13 , further comprising a persona generation module operable to generate the at least one persona for the user.

15. The identity analysis and correlation system of claim 13 , further comprising a notification module operable to alert a user to a potential correlation between the at least one persona and the discovered content.
