Abstract

In the management of deleted content, deleted data is input into a data analysis engine from one or more first computing devices. A parsing module parses the attributes of the deleted data and modifies the metadata of the deleted data based on results of the parsing. A routing module determines a pipeline with attributes matching the modified metadata of the deleted data and routes the modified deleted data to the pipeline. The modified deleted data in the pipeline is managed based on the pipeline configuration. One of more second computing devices may access the pipeline and evaluate the metadata of the modified deleted data in the pipeline. The one or more second computing devices determine whether or not to inherit the modified deleted data. In determining to inherit the modified deleted data, the one or more second computing devices assume ownership of the modified deleted data.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method for management of deleted content, implemented by a processor, comprising:
receiving, by the processor, an input of deleted data from one or more first computing devices; parsing attributes of the deleted data; modifying metadata of the deleted data based on results of the parsing; determining at least one pipeline with attributes matching the modified metadata of the deleted data; and routing the modified deleted data to the at least one pipeline.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the routing of the modified deleted data to the at least one pipeline comprises:
determining whether the at least one pipeline exists; and in determining that the at least one pipeline does not exist, creating the at least one pipeline and routing the modified deleted data to the at least one pipeline.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
accessing the at least one pipeline by one or more second computing devices; evaluating the metadata of the modified deleted data in the at least one pipeline by the one or more second computing devices; determining whether or not to inherit the modified deleted data by the one or more second computing devices; and in determining to inherit the modified deleted data, assuming ownership of the modified deleted data by the one or more second computing devices.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the modifying of the metadata of the deleted data based on the results of the parsing comprises:
adding metadata to the deleted data to create the modified deleted data.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the added metadata comprises one or more of the following: one or more content categories; a data type; and an identity of a community associated with the deleted data.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the parsing of the attributes of the deleted data comprises:
identifying any sensitive information in the deleted data; and removing the sensitive information from the deleted data before routing the modified deleted data to the at least one pipeline.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the parsing of the attributes of the deleted data further comprises:
identifying any agreement applicable to the deleted data; and adding metadata to the deleted data pertinent to terms of the agreement.

8 . A computer program product for management of deleted content, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
receiving an input of deleted data from one or more first computing devices; parsing attributes of the deleted data; modifying metadata of the deleted data based on results of the parsing; determining at least one pipeline with attributes matching the modified metadata of the deleted data; and routing the modified deleted data to the at least one pipeline.

9 . The product of claim 8 , wherein the routing of the modified deleted data to the at least one pipeline comprises:
determining whether the at least one pipeline exists; and in determining that the at least one pipeline does not exist, creating the at least one pipeline and routing the modified deleted data to the at least one pipeline.

10 . The product of claim 8 , wherein the method further comprises:
accessing the at least one pipeline by one or more second computing devices; evaluating the metadata of the modified deleted data in the at least one pipeline by the one or more second computing devices; determining whether or not to inherit the modified deleted data by the one or more second computing devices; and in determining to inherit the modified deleted data, assuming ownership of the modified deleted data by the one or more second computing devices.

11 . The product of claim 8 , wherein the modifying of the metadata of the deleted data based on the results of the parsing comprises:
adding metadata to the deleted data to create the modified deleted data.

12 . The product of claim 11 , wherein the added metadata comprises one or more of the following: one or more content categories; a data type; and an identity of a community associated with the deleted data.

13 . The product of claim 8 , wherein the parsing of the attributes of the deleted data comprises:
identifying any sensitive information in the deleted data; and removing the sensitive information from the deleted data before routing the modified deleted data to the at least one pipeline.

14 . The product of claim 8 , wherein the parsing of the attributes of the deleted data further comprises:
identifying any agreement applicable to the deleted data; and adding metadata to the deleted data pertinent to terms of the agreement.

15 . A system, comprising:
a processor; and a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by the processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
receiving an input of deleted data from one or more first computing devices;
parsing attributes of the deleted data;
modifying metadata of the deleted data based on results of the parsing;
determining at least one pipeline with attributes matching the modified metadata of the deleted data; and
routing the modified deleted data to the at least one pipeline.

16 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the routing of the modified deleted data to the at least one pipeline comprises:
determining whether the at least one pipeline exists; and in determining that the at least one pipeline does not exist, creating the at least one pipeline and routing the modified deleted data to the at least one pipeline.

17 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the method further comprises:
accessing the at least one pipeline by one or more second computing devices; evaluating the metadata of the modified deleted data in the at least one pipeline by the one or more second computing devices; determining whether or not to inherit the modified deleted data by the one or more second computing devices; and in determining to inherit the modified deleted data, assuming ownership of the modified deleted data by the one or more second computing devices.

18 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the modifying of the metadata of the deleted data based on the results of the parsing comprises:
adding metadata to the deleted data to create the modified deleted data.

19 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the parsing of the attributes of the deleted data comprises:
identifying any sensitive information in the deleted data; and removing the sensitive information from the deleted data before routing the modified deleted data to the at least one pipeline.

20 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the parsing of the attributes of the deleted data further comprises:
identifying any agreement applicable to the deleted data; and adding metadata to the deleted data pertinent to terms of the agreement.
