Method, apparatus, and computer program product for polynomial-based data transformation and utilization

A method comprising:

• identifying data that is relevant to a set of one or more queries;
• generating an information source vector that indicates information sources associated with the data that is relevant to the set of queries;
• generating a cyclotomic polynomial based on the information source vector;
• and
• factoring, via a processor, the cyclotomic polynomial to generate a plurality of orthogonal data signatures.

A computer program product comprising at least one computer-readable storage medium having executable computer-readable program code instructions stored therein, the program code instructions configured to:

• identify data that is relevant to a set of one or more queries;
• generate an information source vector that indicates information sources associated with the data that is relevant to the set of queries;
• generate a cyclotomic polynomial based on the information source vector;
• and
• factor the cyclotomic polynomial to generate a plurality of orthogonal data signatures.
