SHARING USAGE OF RESOURCES WITH INTERESTED USERS

摘要

While interacting with resources such as databases and data sets, a user of an organization may create a usage of a resource that is interesting or has value. The user may publish the usage to a web page and/or notify other users who may be interested in the usage, but the effectiveness of such sharing depends upon the user's volition to share the usage with interested users. Instead, the interaction between the interacting user and the resource may be monitored to detect a usage of the resource that may be interesting to other users of the organization. Interested users may be automatically identified and notified of the resource usage, and may request a replay of the resource usage by the interacting interested user. Usages may also be automatically stored as part of a catalog of resource usages by the interacting user for interested users to browse and replay.
