Advanced search and document retrieval for development and verification system prototypes

A system comprising:

• a master computing environment comprising a master repository having computer readable instructions;
• and
• one or more processors for executing the computer readable instructions, the computer readable instructions controlling the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• periodically conducting a search of proprietary data repositories;
• causing the master computing environment to create a merged collection in the master repository after the periodically conducted search of the proprietary data repositories;
• correlating metadata with the proprietary data repositories and putting the correlated metadata into the master repository;
• setting up a question feeder server to receive queries and pass the queries to the master computing environment;
• and
• causing the master computing environment to provide results in response to a query, wherein the master computing environment acts as an autonomous information provider that finds and sorts subject matter on a proprietary development project, and further wherein training of the master computing environment is updated based on collecting a plurality of queries and results as a base data set, logging a user identification of a query result to the query as relevant, updating an association between the query result and the query in the base data set based on determining that the query result is unassociated with the query in the base data set, and updating a results relevancy value in the base data set based on an existing association between the query result to the query being located in the base data set.

A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a master computing environment comprising a master repository to cause the master computing environment to perform operations comprising:

• periodically conducting a search of proprietary data repositories;
• causing the master computing environment to create a merged collection in the master repository after the periodically conducted search of the proprietary data repositories;
• correlating metadata with the proprietary data repositories and putting the correlated metadata into the master repository;
• setting up a question feeder server to receive queries and pass the queries to the master computing environment;
• and
• causing the master computing environment to provide results in response to a query, wherein the master computing environment acts as an autonomous information provider that finds and sorts subject matter on a proprietary development project, and further wherein training of the master computing environment is updated based on collecting a plurality of queries and results as a base data set, logging a user identification of a query result to the query as relevant, updating an association between the query result and the query in the base data set based on determining that the query result is unassociated with the query in the base data set, and updating a results relevancy value in the base data set based on an existing association between the query result to the query being located in the base data set.
