Abstract

Techniques facilitating maintenance of tribal knowledge for accelerated compliance control deployment are provided. In one example, a system includes a memory that stores computer executable components and a processor that executes computer executable components stored in the memory, wherein the computer executable components include a knowledge base generation component that generates a knowledge graph corresponding to respective commitments created via tribal exchanges, the knowledge graph comprising a semantic level and an operational level; a semantic graph population component that populates the semantic level of the knowledge graph based on identified parties to the respective commitments; and an operational graph population component that populates the operational level of the knowledge graph based on tracked status changes associated with the respective commitments.

Claims (52)

1. A system comprising:

a memory that stores computer executable components; and

a processor that executes computer executable components stored in the memory, wherein the computer executable components comprise:

a knowledge base generation component that generates a knowledge graph corresponding to respective commitments created via tribal exchanges, the knowledge graph comprising a semantic level and an operational level;

a semantic graph population component that populates the semantic level of the knowledge graph based on identified parties to the respective commitments;

an operational graph population component that populates the operational level of the knowledge graph based on tracked status changes associated with the respective commitments; and

an assessment component that retrieves an account configuration from the knowledge graph at the semantic level or the operational level and assesses an impact of enforcing a compliance control associated with the knowledge graph.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the tribal exchanges comprise at least one of conversations, forum postings, chats, emails, wikis, or software repository issues.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the computer executable components further comprise:

a network parsing component that tracks respective conversations corresponding to the tribal exchanges, resulting in tracked conversations, and identifies respective establishment points in the tracked conversations for the respective commitments.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the network parsing component extracts the tracked status changes associated with the respective commitments based on analysis of portions of the tracked conversations subsequent to the respective establishment points for the respective commitments.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the knowledge base generation component builds a list of topics of interest based on the knowledge graph.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the knowledge base generation component identifies subject matter experts related to respective ones of the topics of interest based on the knowledge graph and the tribal exchanges.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the computer executable components further comprise:

a query processing component that receives a query associated with the knowledge graph, identifies parties associated with the tribal knowledge based on the semantic level of the knowledge graph, and extracts operational information associated with the tribal knowledge based on the operational level of the knowledge graph.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the computer executable components further comprise:

a guidance component that provides information to a user regarding deployment of automated compliance controls based on the knowledge graph at the semantic level and the operational level.

9. A computer-implemented method comprising:

generating, by a device operatively coupled to a processor, a knowledge graph corresponding to respective commitments created via tribal exchanges, the knowledge graph comprising a semantic level and an operational level;

populating, by the device, the semantic level of the knowledge graph based on identified parties to the respective commitments;

populating, by the device, the operational level of the knowledge graph based on tracked status changes associated with the respective commitments; and

retrieving, by the device, an account configuration from the knowledge graph at the semantic level or the operational level and assessing an impact of enforcing a compliance control associated with the knowledge graph.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , wherein the tribal exchanges comprise at least one of conversations, forum postings, chats, emails, wikis, or software repository issues.

11. The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , further comprising:

constructing, by the device, a segmented information network from the tribal exchanges, resulting in a coherently structured information network constructed from the tribal exchanges originating from multiple distinct sources that lack a common information network structure; and

extracting, by the device, the respective commitments from the segmented information network.

12. The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , wherein the extracting comprises:

tracking, by the device, respective conversations corresponding to the tribal exchanges, resulting in tracked conversations;

identifying, by the device, respective establishment points in the tracked conversations for the respective commitments; and

extracting, by the device, the tracked status changes associated with the respective commitments based on analysis of portions of the tracked conversations subsequent to the respective establishment points for the respective commitments.

13. The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , further comprising:

building, by the device, a list of topics of interest based on the knowledge graph.

14. The computer-implemented method of claim 13 , further comprising:

identifying, by the device, subject matter experts related to respective ones of the topics of interest based on the knowledge graph and the tribal exchanges using a set of objective rules for identifying the subject matter experts in an automated manner.

15. The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , further comprising:

receiving, by the device, a query associated with the knowledge graph;

identifying, by the device, parties associated with the tribal knowledge based on the semantic level of the knowledge graph; and

extracting, by the device, operational information associated with the tribal knowledge based on the operational level of the knowledge graph.

16. A computer program product for extracting and maintaining tribal knowledge, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to:

generate a knowledge graph corresponding to respective commitments created via tribal exchanges, the knowledge graph comprising a semantic level and an operational level;

populate the semantic level of the knowledge graph based on identified parties to the respective commitments;

populate the operational level of the knowledge graph based on tracked status changes associated with the respective commitments; and

retrieve an account configuration from the knowledge graph at the semantic level or the operational level and assess an impact of enforcing a compliance control associated with the knowledge graph.

17. The computer program product of claim 16 , wherein the program instructions further cause the processor to:

track respective conversations corresponding to the tribal exchanges, resulting in tracked conversations; and

identify respective establishment points in the tracked conversations for the respective commitments.

18. The computer program product of claim 17 , wherein the program instructions further cause the processor to:

extract the tracked status changes associated with the respective commitments based on analysis of portions of the tracked conversations subsequent to the respective establishment points for the respective commitments.

19. The computer program product of claim 16 , wherein the program instructions further cause the processor to:

receive a query associated with the knowledge graph;

identify parties associated with the tribal knowledge based on the semantic level of the knowledge graph; and

extract operational information associated with the tribal knowledge based on the operational level of the knowledge graph.
