Skills ontology creation

Disclosed in some examples are systems, methods, and machine readable mediums which allow for the automatic creation of a skills hierarchy. The skills hierarchy comprises an organization of a standardized list of skills into a hierarchy that describes category relationships between the skills in the hierarchy. The category relationships may include no relationships, parent relationships, and child relationships. A skill may be considered a parent of another skill if the parent skill describes a broader category of skill that includes the child. Other relationships such as grandparent (e.g., a parent's parent), great-grandparent, grandchild, great grandchild and so on may be defined inferentially as well. In some examples, the constructed hierarchy may be organized with broader skills at higher levels and narrower skills at lower levels.

System and method utilizing a shared cache to provide zero copy memory mapped database

Methods and systems for providing a plurality of applications with concurrent access to data are disclosed. One such method includes identifying attributes of an expected data set to be accessed concurrently by the applications, initializing a shared cache with a column data store configured to store the expected data set in columns, and creating a memory map for accessing a physical memory location in the shared cache. The method may also include mapping the applications' data access requests to the shared cache with the memory map. Only one instance of the expected data set is stored in memory, so each application is not required to create additional instances of the expected data set in the application's memory address space. Therefore, larger expected data sets may be entirely stored in memory without limiting the number of applications running concurrently.

Table data persistence

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for a distributed parallel processing database system that persists table data in memory to a distributed file system. A distributed parallel processing database system persists table data in memory to a distributed file system. A parameter of creating a database table specifies that data records in the database table and history of changes to the data records can be stored in memory as well as in the distributed file system. When the database table is populated or otherwise modified, data records and the history in memory are evicted to the distributed file system as log files and removed from memory. The log files can be designated as write-only, where the data records, once written, cannot be read by structured query language (SQL) queries, or as read-write, where the data records, once written, can be read by SQL queries.
