  • Patent number: 10776725
    Abstract: A method for implementing a graphical modeling tool in a web-based environment is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, such a method may include enabling a user to import, into a web-based environment, a domain meta model comprising a number of meta model elements. The method may further enable the user to associate the meta model elements with graphical representations in the web-based environment, thereby allowing the user to create palette elements. The user may then assemble the palette elements on a canvas to create a diagram. This diagram may be converted into an instance of the domain meta model. This instance may be validated for conformance with the rules and constraints associated with the domain meta model. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also disclosed and claimed herein.

  • Patent number: 8370752
    Abstract: Automatically generating visualization artifacts corresponding to related service operation interfaces is provided. A user level visualization finite state machine instance is created for a specific service instance based on user activation and deactivation of service operations in the specific service instance and user selection of a start visualization state. The service operations are included in a service level visualization finite state machine instance for the specific service instance. Visualization artifacts are automatically generated based on the user level visualization finite state machine instance and parameterized entities bound to a concrete visualization component. The visualization artifacts are outputted in a service operation interface of the specific service instance for a user to visualize and interact with, resulting in the elimination of individual user unwanted server side function in the units of service operations without server side processing.

  • Publication number: 20100094883
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a method and apparatus for integrated entity of personalized data resource across the WWW with integrated operations. Such embodiments can reside on premises (or service side) as an integrated personalized data resource which is constructed from each of a number of web applications over the Internet that fetch and provide a piece of user information. One embodiment of the invention is directed to a computer that has the method and apparatus associated with the designated user. It is operable to receive informational data from multiple information sources, wherein the data received from each source has a user or web application defined association with a plurality of semantic categories via tagging, and the data received from at least two different sources pertains to the same category (or tag).
