Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to techniques for creating policies. A plurality of objects representative of semantic objects are provided to a user. An arrangement of a subset of the objects, the arrangement representative of a policy, is received. The arrangement is converted to instructions for implementation by an application configured to implement policies. One or more of the objects may include fields and/or controls for specifying criteria of semantic objects represented by the objects.

Abstract: Techniques, including systems are methods, for analyzing data from multiple sources are disclosed and suggested herein. In an embodiment, information from one or more information sources is received. The received information is stored in one or more data stores that collectively implement one or more ontologies. One or more conditions are applied to the information in the one or more data stores to determine a conclusion.

Abstract: Techniques for enforcing policies. A set of data is stored in one or more data stores. A plurality of semantic concepts for an ontology are defined and a map is constructed from the set of data to the concepts. The map is executed in order to transform data from the set of data to a second set of data. The second set of data is stored according to the ontology. The second set of data is reasoned in order to determine compliance with one or more policies.

Abstract: Techniques, including systems are methods, for analyzing data from multiple sources are disclosed and suggested herein. In an embodiment, external information from one or more external information sources and internal information from one or more internal information sources is received. The received external information and internal information are stored in one or more data stores that collectively implement one or more ontologies. One or more conditions are applied to the external information and internal information in the one or more data stores to determine a conclusion and the conclusion is provided to a user.

Abstract: A biblical-based board game includes a board having multiple spaces along which players can move, or climb, as they get questions or tasks correct. The questions and tasks can be divided into four categories—multiple choice questions; fill-in-the-blank questions; word exclusion tasks, where one player gets their teammate to say a phrase/word without the first player mentioning excluded words; and using drawing or gestures to get their teammate to say a word or phrase. The categories are determined by a random means, such as spinning a four-sided, four-colored top. Each player uses a colored angel playing piece to move along the game board, or, to climb Jacob's ladder. A timer can be provided to limit the amount of time to get the correct answer or complete the task.

Abstract: Techniques have been developed to encode in an XML schema element an identification of a class that implements the element. Using an XML schema encode in this way, a parser may perform (at parse time) application-specific modifications to an active document object model (DOM) tree. Linking the specification of application-specific processing to the schema provides significant maintenance advantages. Furthermore, the technique allows provision of a scripting facility. Two suitable XML facilities that may be used to encode the extensions are (1) attributes in a name space declared in the schema and (2) annotations. A computer readable encoding of an XML schema element, the encoding including an extension mechanism that identifies a class that implements the element.
