Abstract: Information related to a first set of one or more data objects of a plurality of data objects in a database is determined. A composition of one or more actions is applied to determine the information related to the first set of one or more data objects. At least one of the actions includes a navigation action that maps a set of data objects to another set of data objects related according to a relationship type determined from a specification of the navigation action. Applying the composition of one or more actions may include recursive application of the navigation action. The actions may include a second action that performs a function based values associated with the data objects returned by the navigation action, where each value represents an attribute of the associated data object.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a highly specialized gaming console. The gaming console comprises housing for supporting a field covering, a scoreboard, display means, holographic projecting camera, and user interface means. The software components of the present invention includes a means for initializing the game from an external media, selecting teams for playing the game, repetitively generating plays based upon the team statistics in conjunction with the offensive and defensive plays of the teams, and generating a holographic display of the generated play on the field. The game can be adapted to play baseball, football, and golf.

Abstract: A method, and corresponding software and system, for translating an expression are described. The method includes accepting a first expression in a first syntax, the expression including a first character sequence representing a string value using the first syntax; identifying a second syntax for representing the expression; and generating a second expression in the second syntax representing the first expression, including generating a second character sequence using the first character sequence such that the second character sequence represents the string value using the second syntax.
