Specification
The abstract of the disclosure is objected to because the term “embodiments” should be removed. A corrected abstract of the disclosure is required and must be presented on a separate sheet, apart from any other text. See MPEP § 608.01(b).
Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 103
In the event the determination of the status of the application as subject to AIA 35 U.S.C. 102 and 103 (or as subject to pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 102 and 103) is incorrect, any correction of the statutory basis for the rejection will not be considered a new ground of rejection if the prior art relied upon, and the rationale supporting the rejection, would be the same under either status.
The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 103 which forms the basis for all obviousness rejections set forth in this Office action:
A patent for a claimed invention may not be obtained, notwithstanding that the claimed invention is not identically disclosed as set forth in section 102, if the differences between the claimed invention and the prior art are such that the claimed invention as a whole would have been obvious before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to a person having ordinary skill in the art to which the claimed invention pertains. Patentability shall not be negated by the manner in which the invention was made.
Claims 22-27, 29, 31-37, 39, and 41 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over BICER et al. (US 20170357653 A1), in view of Stojanovic et al. (US 20160092475 A1), and in further view of Connolly et al. (US 20160055159 A1).
With regard to claim 22,
BICER teaches
a computer-implemented method (Abstract), comprising:
obtaining a dataset having a first data format, the dataset associated with a first user (Fig. 1; [0032]: receive table 10 of city data as input to method 11, where table 10 may also be in the form of comma-separated values (CSVs), i.e., "a first data format", and city corresponds to "a first user");
generating an atomized dataset by transforming the dataset from the first data format to an atomized data format (Fig. 1; [0032]: method 11 transforms table 10 to table 12, which is a list of enhanced RDF triples, i.e., "an atomized data format");
BICER does not teach
deriving, from the dataset, an inferred dataset attribute associated with a subset of data within the dataset;
causing presentation of a data arrangement overview interface summarizing a value of the inferred dataset attribute;
obtaining global dataset attribute data comprising a plurality of user-specific dataset attributes associated with a community of users;
determining a degree of relevancy between the first user and a second user from the community of users by comparing a value of the inferred dataset attribute to a value of a user-specific dataset attribute associated with the second user;
based on the degree of relevancy satisfying a relevance threshold, identifying the second user as a relevant collaborator; and
causing presentation of an identifier of the relevant collaborator in an activity feed portion of a user interface.
Stojanovic teaches
deriving, from the dataset, an inferred dataset attribute associated with a subset of data within the dataset (Fig. 3B; [0077]-[0079]; [0081]: profile engine 326 may compute a pattern metric (e.g., a statistical frequency of different patterns in the data) for each of the different patterns identified in the data, wherein a metric pattern corresponds to “an inferred dataset attribute”);
causing presentation of a data arrangement overview interface summarizing a value of the inferred dataset attribute (Fig. 5C; [0119]: column profile 564 displays a summary of metric values calculated for a particular column 562, for example, the values in Min Length and Max Length correspond to "a value of the inferred dataset attribute");
It would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to have modified BICER to incorporate the teachings of Stojanovic to derive, from the dataset, an inferred dataset attribute associated with a subset of data within the dataset and cause presentation of a data arrangement overview interface summarizing a value of the inferred dataset attribute. Doing so would output a number of metrics and pattern information about each identified column, and can identify schema information in the form of names and types of the columns to match the data as taught by Stojanovic ([0062]).
BICER and Stojanovic do not teach
obtaining global dataset attribute data comprising a plurality of user-specific dataset attributes associated with a community of users;
determining a degree of relevancy between the first user and a second user from the community of users by comparing a value of the inferred dataset attribute to a value of a user-specific dataset attribute associated with the second user;
based on the degree of relevancy satisfying a relevance threshold, identifying the second user as a relevant collaborator; and
causing presentation of an identifier of the relevant collaborator in an activity feed portion of a user interface.
Connolly teaches
obtaining global dataset attribute data comprising a plurality of user-specific dataset attributes associated with a community of users ([0049]: the social networking system 140 maintains a global set of characteristics including a specified number of characteristics and specified types of characteristics. [0037]: example characteristics of a content item include attributes of a user who posted the content item to the social networking system, information describing additional social networking system users that interacted with the content item, or a combination of user-specific and global user attributes);
determining a degree of relevancy between the first user and a second user from the community of users by comparing a value of the inferred dataset attribute to a value of a user-specific dataset attribute associated with the second user; based on the degree of relevancy satisfying a relevance threshold, identifying the second user as a relevant collaborator (Fig. 4; [0065]-[0067]: identify additional users 415 as users having at least a threshold number or percentage of characteristics matching or similar to attributes associated with the user, wherein a number or percentage of characteristics associated with the user corresponds to "a value of the inferred dataset attribute" while a number or percentage of characteristics associated with an additional user corresponds to "a value of a user-specific dataset attribute"); and
causing presentation of an identifier of the relevant collaborator in an activity feed portion of a user interface (Fig. 4; [0071]: communicate 435 the selected one or more content items from the social networking system 140 to a client device 110 for presentation to the user along with an identifier associated with the selected additional user).
It would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to have modified BICER and Stojanovic to incorporate the teachings of Connolly to obtain global dataset attribute data comprising a plurality of user-specific dataset attributes associated with a community of users, determine a degree of relevancy between the first user and a second user from the community of users by comparing a value of the inferred dataset attribute to a value of a user-specific dataset attribute associated with the second user, based on the degree of relevancy satisfying a relevance threshold, identify the second user as a relevant collaborator, and cause presentation of an identifier of the relevant collaborator in an activity feed portion of a user interface. Doing so would overcome the drawback of a user being presented with content items or additional users in which the user may have minimal interest. If a social networking system presents the user with content items or users in which the user is uninterested, the user may discourage the user from interacting with the social networking system as taught by Connolly ([0003]).

BICER further teaches
the computer-implemented method of claim 22, wherein the activity feed portion of the user interface includes a user interface element configured to, upon activation, initiate a process to link the atomized dataset with a second dataset associated with the relevant collaborator (Fig. 1; [0032]: link the output table 12 with other city linked data 13. Using an UI element to trigger this taught function is obvious and within the purview of one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the claimed invention).
With regard to claim 31,
As discussed regarding claim 22, BICER and Stojanovic and Connolly teach all the limitations therein.
Connolly further teaches
the computer-implemented method of claim 22, wherein the user-specific dataset attribute associated with the second user is an inferred dataset attribute derived from a second dataset associated with the second user (Fig. 4; [0065]-[0067]: identify additional users 415 as users having at least a threshold number or percentage of characteristics matching or similar to attributes associated with the user, wherein a number or percentage of characteristics associated with an additional user is “an inferred dataset attribute derived from” the additional user profile, i.e., “a second dataset associated with the second user”).
