Abstract
A computerized project management analytical system and method that develops and manages an ontology that links objects and is capable of being mined. The ontology is comprised of a project ontology framework, a matching engine and a project status matrix that illustrates a multi-relational view of the project status, of confidence levels, or interdiction points and/or positions on project timelines.
Claims20
A computer based assessment tool for providing a current project status and predicting a future project status, the tool comprising:
- a computer memory storing a project ontology framework (POF), wherein the POF has at least one class and subclass;
- one or more computer processors configured to:
- classify a plurality of incoming messages into a class or subclass within the POF based on a source of each of the messages and assign a confidence level to each of the incoming messages based on the classification;
- extracting the current project status from the plurality of incoming messages based on the source and the assigned confidence level of each of the incoming messages;
- input first classified messages with a first assigned confidence level into a matching function that:
- compares the first classified messages to pre-stored data formatted according to the POF,
- generates a match score, and
- modifies an operation of the POF when the match score exceeds a certain threshold;
- inputs second classified messages with a second assigned confidence level to a mapping function that:
- formats the second classified messages according to at least one class within the POF, and
- inputs the formatted second classified messages into the matching function;
- inputs third classified messages with a third assigned confidence level into a parsing function that:
- parses words and phrases in the third classified messages,
- generates tags identifying attributes of the parsed words and phrases in the third classified messages, and
- inputs the third classified messages with the tags into the mapping function, and
- inputs results of the mapping function corresponding to the third classified messages with the tags into the matching function;
- predicts the future project status based on match score of each of the plurality of incoming messages based on the matching function;
- generates a status matrix providing a multi-relational representation of the current project status and predicted future project status;
- and
- a display configured to display the status matrix.

A system for threat prediction, comprising:
- a computer memory storing a project ontology framework (POF), wherein the POF has at least one class and subclass;
- one or more computer processors configured to
- associate a given piece of data with a class or subclass within the POF based on a source of the given piece of data,
- extract a current project status from the given piece of data associated with the class or the subclass,
- assign a confidence level to the given piece of data associated with the class or subclass,
- compares the given piece of data with the assigned confidence level to pre-stored data formatted according to the POF,
- generate a match score based on the comparison,
- predict a future project status based on the match score,
- identify at least one threat within the current project status and the predicted future project status,
- generate a status matrix providing a multi-relational representation of a current project status and a future project status, wherein
- the status matrix illustrating timelines for a plurality of projects associated with a plurality of organizations,
- each timeline including a first marker indicating the current project status on a project timeline and a second marker indicating at least one interdiction point representing a time on the project timeline when the at least one threat has a weakness or an exposure point;
- a display configured to display the status matrix.
