Abstract: A system and methods for implementing tag synchronization routines providing automated tag definition and management functionalities. Tag configurations are highly configurable to obtain information from multiple back end systems and able to support data access from many different sources. Additionally, the tag configurations provide convenient mechanisms by which to control data access and preserve data integrity in an automated manner.

Abstract: A system to update a data structure based on a plurality of parent data structures, where at least one of the plurality of parent data structures is associated with point data. Some embodiments may include reception of a notification to update from one of the plurality of parent data structures, determination that one or more of the plurality of parent data structures is updating, determination of whether a notification to update has been received from each of the one or more of the plurality of parent data structures, and, if the notification to update has been received from each of the one or more of the plurality of parent data structures, update of the data structure based on data of the one or more of the plurality of parent data structures.

Abstract: A system and methods for retrieving and presenting data in a tag-based component environment. The disclosed system provides an efficient mechanism for associating point and non-point data using highly configurable data acquisition strategies. The data acquisition strategies incorporate customized retrieval routines to perform data acquisition at desired intervals so as to reduce unnecessary bandwidth consumption and computational overhead.

Abstract: A system and methods for retrieving and presenting data in a tag-based component environment. The disclosed system provides an efficient mechanism for associating point and non-point data using selected modeling approaches to organize and reference the data. The modeling approaches provide the ability generate customized retrieval routines that support reusable components incorporating direct and indirect referencing techniques.
